Amalfi

Located at the mouth of a deep ravine on the Gulf of Salerno, Amalfi sits among steep limestone cliffs along the Mediterranean Sea.

The Maritime Republic of Amalfi controlled Mediterranean trade from 839 to 1200, establishing commercial relationships with distant territories and creating influential navigation laws.

The Cathedral of Sant'Andrea exhibits architectural elements from multiple periods, featuring bronze doors cast in Constantinople and a bell tower with intricate decorative arches.

Regular ferry services connect Amalfi to Naples, Salerno, and other coastal towns, while buses provide transportation along the winding coastal roads.

The Museum of Handmade Paper preserves the centuries-old tradition of paper production, displaying original machinery and tools from medieval paper mills.
