Abbazia di San Michele Arcangelo

The staff is amazing and will provide you a guide to read for free. The curch is great and its terrace offers a crazily awesome view.

It is truly a casket over the top area of Procida named "Terra Murata". You can ask to be accompanied by a guide (free offer) to visit the church. The complex it is characterized by other three floors which that go down up to the sea level (impressive). Nonetheless, at the time of our visit (June 2022) those additional floors were closed due to maintenance.

The most intricate designs and details i have ever seen. The church had everything from, ornate cielings, paintings, antique pipes, candle sticks, saints and martyrs buried, it is amazing. A must see for anyone that visits Isola Procida

Nice but a bit too much in need of maintenance. Staff (volunteers, I believe) are very friendly and the view from the terrace is breathtaking.

Beautiful from the outside but was closed when we arrived.

Is very intersting to visit but you need to wait 15 minuts each group and made an offers. 😚

Breathtaking view toward the sea from the yard. If you want to do some selfie, this is it.

Best place

If there is just one church you can squeeze into your travel schedule, go and explore this Benedictine abbey high up on a rock of Terra Murata, the ancient and picturesque part of the island of Procida. Hiking uphill is not easy, but doable at any fitness level - even the nonexistent one. But check out opening hours before you go! Your rewards? Prime location! Prime views of the Gulf of Napels and Marina Corricella in pastel colours along the way, a pretty church with history dating back to the 16th century and a close look at the statues of Jesus and Mary that will be carried around Terra Murata on Good Friday. There are two Good Friday Processions starting from San Michele Arcangelo: one in the morning about 8 am and one in the evening at 8 pm. Best locations to watch the processions are Piazza dei Martiri or Piazza della Repubblica. So wonderful to watch both. In the morning even the little ones participate and mourn the death of Jesus. Babies dressed in black get carried around by their parents ... and often fall asleep ... sleep of the blessed ;o)).
