About Amalfi

Amalfi is a steep seaside town on Italy's Amalfi Coast, once a powerful medieval maritime republic, with a striped cathedral and lemon terraces above.

Amalfi tumbles down a narrow gorge to a small harbour. In the Middle Ages it was one of Italy's great maritime republics, trading across the Mediterranean, and the Duomo di Sant'Andrea, with its striped facade, bronze doors and cloister, recalls that wealth. A broad flight of steps climbs to the cathedral from the piazza, and lanes behind the main street are lined with shops selling lemon products and paper.
