In the medieval village of Corpo di Cava, the collegiate church of Santa Maria Maggiore faces a broad square.

In the medieval village of Corpo di Cava, a few steps from the Badia della Santissima Trinità, stands the collegiate church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The little village grew up around the abbey's activities, and the church has always been the village community's focal point.The building has a three-nave Latin-cross plan and a broad façade opening onto a square. We like getting there by strolling through the village's narrow, winding streets, which keep an old-world atmosphere. We suggest combining the visit with the Badia, for a day devoted to Cava's oldest history.
