History of Maiori

History of Maiori
Maiori was built in the 9th century by the Sicilian prince Sicard with the name of "Rheginna Major" to distinguish itself from the neighboring town of Minori, called "Rheginna Minor". They will keep this name until the beginning of the Suevi era, losing the epithet "Rheginna", which came from the name of two rivers, one larger than the other.
