Amalfi

Between the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno the coast is formed by rugged cliffs: the Lattari Mountains, an extreme offshoot of the Campania Apennines, end here overhanging on the sea, so much so that the vegetation goes up a few meters from the water. In this fascinating landscape, nestled between sky and sea, lies Amalfi, a city that, for at least two centuries in the Middle Ages, was one of the most important commercial centres in the Mediterranean. Absolutely to visit is the very famous Cathedral of Amalfi and the Cloister of Paradise. The Valle dei Mulini and the Paper Museum are worth a visit outside the city. Amalfi, as well as the whole coastal area, is famous for the cultivation of lemons spread since the 1600s, from which the delicious limoncello is obtained, a liqueur made from the famous variety "Sfusato Amalfitano".
