Description

For centuries Cetara was influenced by the financial and spiritual fortunes of the Benedictine abbey in Cava dei Tirreni; nowadays it is dominated by its busy fishing harbor. In fact, its name is derived from "Cetaria" (tuna) or "Cetari" (sellers of large fish). The entire economy revolves around marine traditions. The Cetara fleet is one of the most active in the Mediterranean Sea, specializing in catching, processing and preserving tuna and anchovies. One of the most delicious foods to taste is "colatura di alici" (anchovy sauce), a dressing for entrees with a wonderful amber color. It is prepared by skilled chefs according to an antique and secret recipe.

The ancient viceregal tower, defensive tower in the past and now private house, is outstretched to the sea. The church of St. Pietro, in baroque style, with its glazed tile dome and its thirteenth-century bell tower, together with the church of St. Francesco and that one of St. Maria del Popolo are worthy of a visit. Finally, the procession in honour of St. Pietro (the patron saint of the town, celebrated on 29th June) is really attractive: the Saint's statue is transported at music rhythm as far as the beach.
