Vietri

Facing the Tyrhennian Sea, the Amalfi Coast is one of 50 Italian
sites inserted on the UNESCO Word Heritage List.
The Amalfi Coast seems to be one grand balcony suspended
between a sea of cobalt blue and the feet of the Lattari Mountains,
in a long stretch of hollows and promontories, coves, cultivated terraces,
vineyards, and citrus and olive groves.
Set in a unique environment, it is an exemplar of a Mediterranean
landscape and of enormous cultural and natural value due to its
topographical characteristics, as well as its
historical evolution. For this, it is protected by UNESCO.

Amalfi

The entire area extends over 11,231 hectares between the
Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno, comprising
16 splendid communes inside the Province of Salerno:
Amalfi, Atrani, Cava de' Tirreni, Cetara, Conca dei Marini,
Furore, Maiori, Minori, Positano,
Praiano, Raito, Ravello, Sant'Egidio del Monte Albino,
Scala, Tramonti, and Vietri sul Mare.

Salerno

The cities and countryside towns of the Amalfi Coast
are different one from the other, each with its own traditions and
peculiarities that render them singular and unique; nonetheless,
they are all characterized by architectonic monuments
like the Saracen Tower of Cetara; the Romanesque
Cathedral of Amalfi and its “Cloister of Paradise,” clearly under the
Oriental influence; the Church of San Salvatore de’ Bireto in Atrani,
where the swearing-in ceremony
for the Doges of Amalfi traditionally takes place;
and Ravello, with its beautiful cathedral and the superb Villa Rufolo.

The enchanting town of Vietri sul Mare is considered to be the
“cradle of majolica;” thus it is no random fact that
the gorgeous Church of San Giovanni Battista and the facade
of the Arciconfraternita dell’Annunziata e del Rosario are covered in
these splendid and colorful ceramic tiles.

Atrani

On the road from Amalfi that arrives in the “painted village” of Furore,
one will find the charming borgo of Conca Dei Marini,
characterized by its homes with white vaulted roofs from the
16th Century, and by its emerald grotto.
Additionally, the fishing villages of Cetara and Maiori – also
among the most-frequented
sea resorts due to their fine, sandy beaches – boast, respectively,
the Churches of San Pietro and Santa Maria a Mare, both domes of which are
covered in majolica.
Another gem along the Coast is Minori, defined as a Coastal Eden
for its fresh and airy climate.
