Convent of Santa Maria a Castro
Santa Maria a Castro stands high above Praiano with the former San Domenico convent beside it. The ascent is part of the visit, with views toward Positano and Capri.
Why go
The hillside church stands beside a former Dominican convent, and a large Madonna delle Grazie fresco is inside. It gives a clear destination to a demanding uphill walk above Vettica Maggiore. Plan for the path and exterior; confirm church access if you want to see the fresco.
What to look for
Hillside church and former convent above Praiano
Madonna delle Grazie fresco inside the church
Useful to know
Allow for a substantial uphill walk above Vettica Maggiore.
Confirm interior access locally before counting on seeing the fresco.
