Atrani sharing with Amalfi a lot of its history, elaborated the same cultural and architectural motifs that we find in the most famous sea town.

Even though there are not numerous monumental buildings (worthy to visit San Salvatore de’ Birecto Church, where the doge received political ordination, Collegiate Church dedicated to Patron Saint, S. Maria Maddalena, Saints Grotto, in a private property, with elaborated cave paintings, and some minor churches) overseas influences take shape in the built up area structure with houses built at a very short distance among them, rather one on the other, defining public covered passage ways and narrow alleys so that only one person at a time can walk along it This structure, together with the small area occupied by the village, make Atrani the municipality with the highest living density of the 15 municipalities of Costiera Amalfitana.
