Cetara, Fishing village on Amalfi Coast, Italy
The town extends from the Tyrrhenian Sea coastline to Mount Falerio, with the small village of Fuenti situated on the hills near Amalfi Drive.
The settlement originated in 880 as a Muslim community and developed into a maritime center, deriving its name from the Latin word Cetaria, meaning tuna fishing grounds.
Local fishermen maintain strong connections with maritime communities in Nemour, Algeria, and French ports of Sete and Marseille through generations of seafaring traditions.
The municipality borders Vietri sul Mare and Maiori, making it accessible via the Amalfi Drive road system that connects coastal settlements in the region.
Cetara produces colatura di alici, a specialized amber-colored anchovy sauce created through a traditional maturing process of salted fish.
