The
charming little fishing village of Praiano is
located into the great rock cliffs of the bay.
In the Middle Ages Praiano was part of the "Antica
Repubblica Amalfitana" (the old Republic
of Amalfitana).
If you are in Praiano you have to visit the elegant
little San Luca Evangelista church. The floor
is decorated in a wonderful way and you can also
find busts made of silver. The table paintings
are also very fascinating; they were painted in
the 16th century by Giovan Bernardo Lama and Padovano
De Montorio
If you take a ship out of the
harbour Marina di Praia, you will probably see
two very beautiful grottos, "La grotte di
Supriano e Africana". These natural caves
are famous for the stalactites and the way that
the sun falls in there and makes the emerald in
the rock of the cave reflect in the water.
Another sight to see when you
are visiting this town is the "Torre di Grado",
which is a watchtower built centuries ago to defend
the coast.
