Fishing village set in a peaceful landscape, with craft traditions dating back to the distant past.
The Amalfi Coast is a part of the world well worth exploring. In addition to its well known sea resorts, there are a whole host of tiny settlements which still maintain truly ancient artistic and popular traditions. Praiano is one of these small towns, a fishing village immersed in a peaceful landscape, once the resort chosen by the Doge in past centuries.
Traditional crafts still flourish in Praiano, from the production of silk garments to the embroidered pieces worked by the women of the village. Praiano is situated between Monte St Angelo a Tre Pizzi and Capo Sottile, a tiny area of land characterized by its dramatic scenery.
To visit: the parish Church of St Luca Evangelista, which houses works of art from the 1500's by Bernardo Lama, a relic of the Saint and a silver bust dating back to 1694. Next to the church one finds the three tiered bell tower which overlooks the entire village.
