A chapel built in 1620 in Vettica Minore, linked to the legend of fishermen saved from a storm.

In Vettica Minore, a hamlet of Amalfi, the Chapel of the Virgo Potens was built in 1620 by the Gambardella family; tradition says it was wanted by some fishermen who miraculously survived a storm.An older church, mentioned in the 15th century, already stood on the site. From the chapel the view sweeps across the sea of the Coast.
