Located to the east of Amalfi, ten minutes’ walk down the Amalfi Coast, Atrani is perched on a cliff just above the sea and can be reached by steep steps. Atrani, once a small fishing village on the Amalfi Coast, today is the smallest town in Italy with a surface area of 0.12 km2. 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. Located along the valley of the river Dragone, between the Civita Hill and Aureo Hill, Atrani is the smallest town in Italy, having a surface area 0.12 km2. At a short distance from Amalfi, the small town with a population of less than one thousand, is overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Atrani is an idyllic and picturesque place on the Amalfi Coast, 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 Atrani. 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. Santa Maria Maddalena 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 the church 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.

Amalfi is the town that gives the name to the area and it is a starting point to visit the Amalfi Coast. Amalfi lies at the foot of Monte Cerreto (1,315 metres) surrounded by soaring cliffs and coastal scenery. Amalfi Town is located mostly vertical between the water and the mountains and has the typical appearance of the towns in the area. Amalfi is a historical town with wonderful landmarks and a monumental Cathedral with a beautiful church tower bell visible from the water. The Cathedral of Sant’Andrea with the façade built in Romanesque style, is the main monument of Amalfi.

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 picturesque and multicolored seaside towns offers the traveler probably the most stunning views in Italy.
