Amalfi was founded as one of the Maritime Republics, the oldest one of the four. Its history is linked to the wealth coming from trade along the coast with ships arriving from all over the Mediterranean Sea.

A land of traders and inventors (let's think of Flavio Gioia, to whom we owe the compass invention). Traces of the past can be seen at each corner, in each alley, reaching the Duomo with its steps, the ancient arsenals and the ruins of the paper mills (still today we speak about the Amalfi paper).

If you love nature, we suggest a walk in the close ironworks valley, a natural reserve with small rivers and waterfalls. Regarding Atrani, we can call it the twin town of Amalfi.

The tricks of the light in its streets inspired the famous painter Escher and still today amaze visitors.
