Diocese of Cava and Sarno

Diocese of Cava and Sarno

The Diocese of Cava e Sarno was a Roman Catholic diocesis located in the Italian region Campania. It existed from 1818 to 1986.

It was formed in 1818 by merging the historic dioceses of Cava (founded in 1394 centred around La Trinità della Cava[1]), Sarno (founded in 1066) and Nuceria Pagani (refounded in 1386). In 1834, Nuceria was reestablished as a separate diocesis[2] but the other two compoments remained united.

In 1986 the diocesis was suppressed and its territories divided: Cava de Tirreni merged with the Archdiocesis of Amalfi, while Sarno merged with the diocesis of Nuceria Pagani to form the diocesis of Nocera Inferiore-Sarno.[3]
