Morigerati

Morigerati is a typical medieval town that still preserves its original architectural and urban features.
Perched on a rocky spur, in a strategic defensive position, the inhabited center develops on several terraces that close in concentric rings around the central fulcrum represented by the ancient Church of San Demetrio and the Baronial Palace.
According to some, it was born as a Morgeti fortress-village, an ancient Italic population or, more likely, as a Greek settlement. Later, the cliff was the site of a small Roman colony, as evidenced by the ruins that emerge in the area of "Rumanuro".
In the eighth century AD settled a colony of Greek-Eastern monks who, coming here to
escaping the iconoclast struggle, they brought with them the sacred icon of Saint Demetrius, today protector of the
country. In the Middle Ages Morigerati belonged to various lords and, in the 1400s, for a wedding affair, it passed, together with the Sicili hamlet, to Matteo Comite of Salerno to then be sold to Pietro di Stefano, under whose successors it became barony.
