Local Area Details

The beauty of Atrani lies in the choreography of the beach around it and the intricate maze of houses built practically on top of each other that make it look like a nativity scene especially at night with the lights glimmering In the daytime the tiny streets sometimes seem to disappear behind the houses only to reappear suddenly widening into a small square where the light of the sun can finally shine freely Very near to Amalfi Atrani is the coastal village that has best preserved its original medieval structure of narrow streets arches courtyards small squares and the typical scalinatelle or stairways It has a small sheltered secluded beach from which the lampare boats leave in the evening for night fishing At night the myriad lights of the lampare on the sea is the prettiest sight one will ever find of the Mediterranean For such a small place there are many things to see This is because during the time of the Maritime Republics Atrani was the residence of the noble families of Amalfi This is where the Doges were crowned and buried A tour of the village must therefore begin with the Church of San Salvatore de Birecto where the coronation of the highest government authority took place with the solemn placing of the doges birecto or cap on his head Later remodeled in the neoclassical style the church is actually very old having been founded in 940 It contains a marble pluteus from the late 11th century with high reliefs in the Byzantine style and Lombardinfluenced anthropomorphic figures The handsome bronze doors were cast in Constantinople in 1087 commissioned by the noble Pantaleone Viaretta who twenty years earlier had provided Amalfi with the doors of its Cathedral The doors of the two churches are very similar and those of Atrani are composed of 24 panels with the four central panels richly inlaid with silver copper and enamel done using a PersianSyrian technique Standing on the slopes of the mountain is the collegiate church of Santa Maria Maddalena built in the 13th century by the people of Atrani in thanks to the Madonna for having saved them from the Saracen marauders It has a single rectangular room covered by a barrel vault and lit by two large Baroque windows The faade is also Baroque The small sacristy holds a white marble Roman cinerary urn The glazed tile dome and square bell tower have become the symbol of the Atrani skyline Next to the church is Masaniellos Cave and below it is the home where Masaniello the popular revolutionary leader was born built at the top of a flight of 500 steps A little ways above the old public road that links Atrani and Amalfi is the Cave of the Saints It was probably part of the old Benedictine monastery of Saints Quirico and Judith founded in 986 by the future archbishop Leo I The entrance to the small cave which opens onto a terraced lemon grove is enclosed by one of the arches supporting a water channel The Caves perimeter is an irregular quadrilateral and the walls are decorated with Byzantinestyle frescoes from the 12th depicting the four evangelists In the green background there is a warrior saint undoubtedly St George
