Set between the mountains and the sea, the Amalfi Coast is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is one of Italy's most memorable destinations. Located in the Campania region of Italy, the Amalfi Coast displays sky-high costal cliffs raised from the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The coast with its 13 picturesque and multicolored seaside towns offers the traveler probably the most stunning views in Italy. The seaside towns on the Amalfi Coast are all connected via the SS163 highway, one of the most scenic roads in the world.
Set on the rock, with an ancient medieval structure, Atrani is characterized by houses built at a short distance from each other and often one on top of the other. The town located along the valley of the river Dragone, between the Civita Hill and Aureo Hill is the smallest town in Italy, having a surface area 0.12 km2. At a short distance from Amalfi, Atrani is a town overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, with a population of less than one thousand, an idyllic and picturesque place, waiting to be explored. Visiting Atrani means that you can enjoy not only the wonderful panorama but also the atmosphere of the ancient seaside villages of Italy.
Located just steps from the sea, Piazza Umberto I is the heart of the town. To reach the Piazza you have to cross the antique passageway which connects the beach and the sea with the central square of Atrani. Originally, the place was constructed as a shelter for boats during high tide and sea storms. Today, the charming Piazza is full of the essentials of Italian life: a general store, barbers, cafes and restaurants. The passageway offers a beautiful view of the beach, fishing boats and the sea beyond.
The Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Atrani was founded in 1274 on the ruins of a medieval fortress to thank the Saint for freeing the town from the occupation of the Saracens. The church was restored in 1570 and 1669 and in 1753 the church was enlarged and took on the current structure with three naves and, on that occasion, the last remains of the ancient fort were demolished. In 1852 it was completely modernized by the Salerno architect Lorenzo Casalbore. The church has a beautiful façade, the only example of Rococò on the Amalfi Coast, a majolica dome and a sixteenth-century bell tower in brown tuff.
