Overview

Amalfi, quaint and picturesque town near the center of Amalfi from which it takes its name, is one of the nation's most famous resorts for the beauty of the landscape, the historical and artistic memories, the uniqueness of the architecture, and the mild climate, sloping down to the sea ​​on a slope at the end of the valley of the Mills.

Of Roman origin, it was Byzantine in 839 and became the first Italian maritime republic, which around the Thousand reached its peak. He passed, then, under different feudal lords, until part of the Kingdom of Naples (1461).

You should visit the Cathedral of St. Andrew, the most important monument of the whole coast, which dates from the ninth century and was rebuilt at the beginning of the thirteenth century in Arab-Norman style, and a second time in the eighteenth century.

Peace of mind

Wonderful tour with friendly people. I'd say that Amalfi coast is a must, and the tour itself was really well organized. I'll come again

as astonishing as interesting

The tour was really well organized. The staff was nice and ready to answer our curiosities about the history of the place. The Amalfi coast and Pompeii are among the most visited place in Italy, and one you'll get there, you'll understand why. Couldn't recommend more
