The Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Bando is a quaint, isolated white structure, perched on the stark rock, its simplicity contrasting with the surrounding greenery and natural terraces. It overlooks the town of Atrani and the valley of the Dragone stream from its elevated position. This sanctuary, located about 750 steps from Atrani, is nestled among lively alleyways that reflect the intimate spirit of this community, terraces, and farmland. It’s like stepping back in time to a slower-paced era when spirituality was a manifestation of genuine devotion.
