A Baroque church in Vettica Maggiore, Praiano, with a majolica dome and a churchyard overlooking the Coast.

In Vettica Maggiore, a hamlet of Praiano, the Church of San Gennaro is one of the finest examples of Baroque religious architecture on the Amalfi Coast. The earliest records date back to the 14th century.We can spot its majolica dome from afar. From the majolica-paved churchyard the view over the sea and Positano is unforgettable, especially at sunset.
