Santa Maria a Cetrella
(Redirected from Chiesa di Santa Maria a Cetrella)
Santa Maria a Cetrella is a Franciscan chapel and hermitage in Anacapri, Capri, Italy. Referred to as "Capri's most otherworldly church", it contains a Madonna statue which is venerated by pilgrims, including Rainer Maria Rilke.[1] Built in the Middle Ages, its features include stucco siding, with a low-vaulted ceiling.[2]
It is located on Mount Solaro's Cetrella region. In the Middle Ages, Capriote residents prayed to Santa Maria a Cetrella to intercede on behalf of the island's fishermen.[2]
