The Papal Basilica of the Sanctuary of San Biagio is the most important church of Maratea, guardian of the relics of the Patron Saint.
It is located at the top of Mount S. Biagio, where the ancient Maratea Castello is located and Cristo is located.
Popular tradition has it that the church, originally dedicated to the Madonna delle Grazie, was built by adapting to the Christian cult of architectural structures of an ancient pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva.
