room view - praianoThe church of San Luca Evangelista
In the higher part of the town, in a beautiful panoramic position, there is the main church of Praiano, dedicated to the patron saint San Luca Evangelista (St.Luke the Evangelist).
It was built in the 1588, upon a preexisting church of the 1123, and rebuilt in the 1772, but it does not show any baroque exaggeration but on the contrary it has a sober and austere style.
Saint Luca's remainings ( reliquia ) are kept there.
You shouldn't miss the majolica pavement inside it , some polychrome marble altars and a wood pulpit with paintings representing St. Pietro and St. Paolo. It also houses a precious silver figure of Saint Luke from 1694 .
