Churches in Praiano

The Parish Church of Vettica Maggiore is dedicated to St Gennaro: the Neapolitan bishop of Benevento, who died martyr in Pozzuoli on September the 19th 305, while the so-called Dioclezianus persecution was raging.

The church of San Luca Evangelista is dedicated to St Luke, the patron saint of Praiano.

At the foot of Mount St Angelo a Tre Pizzi, at 364 metres above the sea level, you'll find the lovely Church of St Maria a Castro, along with the outbuilding Convent of St Domenico overlooking the deep valley of Fontanella.
