Churches in Terra Murata is a self-guided tour of the historic religious buildings on the fortified hilltop of Terra Murata, Procida. This cluster of churches, including the Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo and the Church of San Tommaso d'Aquino, dates from the 11th to the 17th centuries. Visitors walk through narrow lanes and courtyards to view Baroque altars, medieval crypts, and panoramic terraces overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
