Stop At: Amalfi, Amalfi, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Italy’s oldest maritime republic and symbol of the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi continues to enchant visitors just as it did in the days of the Grand Tour. Just over three square kilometers of devastatingly beautiful scenery at the mouth of the Valle dei Mulini: this is Amalfi, a town which opens like a fan towards the sea, sheltered from behind by the steep slopes of the Monti Lattari. Amalfi’s ancient Roman origins are evident from a number of ruins, including those of a nymphaeum dating back to the reign of Emperor Tiberius.
Amalfi is the oldest of Italy’s four major Maritime Republics and prospered for a full three centuries under the Normans, Longobards, and even the Saracens.
Its decline began in 1137 when it was defeated and pillaged by the rival republic of Pisa.
