Geography

The municipality of Furore expands from the sea level, where there is the hamlet of the Fiordo di Furore, and a little civil parish partly belonging to Praiano named Marina di Praia, up to Agerola (550 meters above sea level). The village is subdivided into 3 districts (contrade): Cicala (Sant'Elia), Ciuccio (Santo Jaco) and Gatta (Sant'Agnelo).

Main sights

  • the so-called fiordo di Furore, in fact a ria created by the Schiato torrent which flows here from Agerola.
  • Church of Sant'Elia
  • Saint Giacomo Church, with a collection of religious iconography of female Saints.
  • Saint Michele Church, with an overlapping of Gothic elements, such as the sharp arch, with Romanesque figurative decorations.
  • The open-air museum of Murals, along the road, painted on the walls of the houses of Furore.
