A 12th-century basilica in the village of Castellabate, consecrated in 1138 and a pontifical basilica since 1988.

In the village of Castellabate, the Basilica of Santa Maria de Gulia, dedicated to the Assumption, was consecrated in 1138 by Blessed Simeon, Abbot of Cava, on the site of a Basilian chapel.The name "de Gulia" may come from the eagle the hill seems to form when seen from the sea, or from "guglia", meaning peak. It has been a pontifical basilica since 1988. A stop in the UNESCO heritage village, between the castle and the viewpoint.
