Massa Lubrense is located in the most scenic and still mainly rural part of the Sorrentine Peninsula. The lovely town includes, amongst others, the districts of Marina del Cantone and Nerano further to the south.
Although only few kilometers from the lively town of Sorrento, hardly anything in this place at the southern end of the peninsula reminds you of the hustle and bustle at the neighboring town. Spending your holidays at Massa Lubrense is therefore very relaxing.
Santa Maria delle Grazie is the town’s largest church and its history dates back over 500 years. According to the oldest sources, this sacred building dates back to 1512. Since then it has undergone various restorations, extensions and architectural changes.
A wonderful garden of southern fruit adorns the town center, which shows how important the lemon crop is for both the town and the whole Costiera Amalfitana. The aromatic peels of the fruit are nowadays used mainly for the production of Limoncello.
From Piazza Vescovado in the heart of the medieval commune, you have got a fantastic view of the Gulf of Naples. The baroque church of Santa Maria delle Grazie with its wonderful majolica floor is surely worth a visit.
On your way to the small fishing harbor of Marina della Lobra, which fills with pleasure crafts and yachts in summer, you pass the church of Santa Maria della Lobra. You should not miss out on visiting the adjacent Franciscan monastery with its beautiful cloister.
