Amalfi

Amalfi

Suspended between the blue sky and the turquoise sea, which gives off iridescent reflections, Amalfi seems like it was born from a painter's palette. This land is rich with Mediterranean charm, featuring the vibrant colors of majolica domes and the scent of orange blossoms and lemons.


Amalfi is the town that gives its name to the Amalfi Coast, famous for being the first of the four Maritime Republics, which for centuries held the monopoly on commercial trade with the East. From the sea, Amalfi appears as a cluster of small white houses connected by narrow streets and stairways that gradually descend from the mountain to the square dominated by the Duomo of Sant'Andrea with its dramatic staircase.

Within just a few kilometers, there are many places to visit.


A walk through the historic center, with its narrow streets that plunge into the cool shade of archways, reveals the essence of Amalfitan architecture, including the Arab-Norman style bell tower, the evocative Cloister of Paradise, the Paper Museum, and the impressive Arsenals of the Republic.

Behind the town unfolds a path known as the Valley of the Mills or the Valley of the Ferriere. Here, you can find the mills that were used for the production of Amalfi paper and medieval remains of ironworks and former paper mills.
