Praiano Amalfi Coast Italy

The charming little fishing village of Praiano is nestled 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 might want to visit the elegant little San Luca Evangelista church. The floor is decorated in a unique 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.
      Hotels in Praiano

If you take a ship out of the harbour Marina di Praia, you will probably see two very beautiful grottos, "La grotte di SUPPRIANO 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.
