The ancient quarter of S. Pietro with its magnificent little square and its church is 10 minutes from the center of Maiori. The church of St. Peter the Apostle was built in the fourth century on the ruins of the Temple of Vertumno, destroyed by the citizens of Maiori following their conversion to Christianity.
Queen Giovanna II d'Angiņ worshipped in this church during her visit to Maiori in 1416 on the occasion of her second marriage to James the Bourbon, Count of Marra.
The statue of the Apostle is of great artistic value. The visitor to this tiny corner of Maiori finds himself immersed in the atmosphere of a past era.
