Church of San Michele Arcangelo in Furore

  • Visit: about 20 min
  • 454 m

A Furore church founded in the 13th–14th century, dedicated to St Michael the Archangel, with two Roman marble funerary urns.

Among the houses scattered across the terraces of Furore, the "village that isn't there" on the Amalfi Coast, stands the Church of San Michele Arcangelo, founded between the 13th and 14th centuries. It was the seat of the Monte dei Sette Dolori, a confraternity devoted to Our Lady of Sorrows.We suggest looking inside for two finely carved marble Roman funerary urns, evidence of the reuse of ancient materials typical of the Coast. We love reaching it on foot along the stairways linking the hamlets, among vineyards and lemon trees, with the sea suddenly appearing between the dry-stone walls.
