ピモンテのおすすめツーリングルート

A beautiful, small, narrow village on the steep, rocky coast. Amafi is best reached by boat.

To reach the cathedral, you first have to climb 62 steps.

The entrance fee is money well spent, as the cathedral itself is well worth a visit. The church's decoration, with its magnificent wall and ceiling paintings and mosaics, is worth seeing.

Nice to see during Christmas time

Amalfi holds centuries of history in its folds of stone and sea. Born in Roman times, passed through the hands of the Byzantines and Lombards, in the Middle Ages it became one of the powerful Maritime Republics, an undisputed protagonist of trade in the Mediterranean between the 9th and 11th centuries. Today, its splendor is told by the narrow streets that climb between colorful houses, the ruined towers and the remains of ancient fortifications: living traces of a past that still whispers between the walls.

Amalfi Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Sant’Andrea, houses not only precious relics but also stories steeped in legend. It is said that in 1218 Saint Francis of Assisi came here to pay homage to the apostle and his relics. The charm of the place won him over to the point of remaining in Amalfi for two years. It was during that period that he founded a convent, initially dedicated to Santa Maria degli Angeli, which later took the name of Sant’Antonio.

Even from the beach of Castellammare di Stabia, a town with over 60,000 inhabitants in the province of Naples, you can easily observe the top of Vesuvius. The volcano is imposing and often characterizes the skyline of these areas.
