Atrani is located in a truly romantic setting. The town's position on the mountain slopes forms a natural amphitheatre overlooking the sea, with its principal piazza, Umberto I, forming its epicentre. The houses are all painted in pale colors, in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape, and can be reached by flights of steps and narrow alleyways. There is an impressive number of churches in the heart of Old Atrani: the Franciscan Monastery of Santa Rosalia, the Church of S. Maria del Bando, the Church of San Salvatore de Birceto, the Chapel of S. Gertrude, the Church of S. Maria Immacolata, the Church of the Carmine, where there is a nativity scene dating from the 17th century and the Church of S. Michele.
