The Church of Santa Marina Vergine in Pogerola, dating back to 1140 and that has been repeatedly restored, has a façade consisting of two arches supporting a loggia with three round arches, which, in turn, support a tympanum covered with a tiled panel.
Inside, two cross vaults delimit a first room and lead to a hall covered by a barrel vault with lunette.
The frescoes painted by the Amalfi artist Ignazio Lucibello in 1937, which decorate the church transept are worthy of note. A number of ancient marble items from both Roman and medieval times are stored here, including some Roman urns, the baptismal font and a mysterious slab with the inscription “armenae” on it.
To the left of the building rises the bell tower with two floors raised above the church floor, and ending with a hexagonal barrel with a tiled spire.
An artistic 18th-century Neapolitan nativity scene is set up during the Christmas period, with paper mache’ shepherds and clothed in fabric garments.
Saint Marina is celebrated every year on 17 July (the date on which the saint’s relics were moved from Bitnia to Venice). The statue of S. Maria Vergine is a bust created with the estofado de oro technique.
