Amalfi is the town after which the entire Coast is named. A city with a glorious history, it was the capital of the Italian Maritime Republics. Being one of Italy’s most important and prosperous trading centres, it contributed to the growth of neighbouring towns. An enchanting sea, rich nature, dream landscapes, monuments, history, food and wine make Amalfi one of the favourite destinations for tourists who choose Italy and the south for their holidays.
The symbol of Amalfi is the Duomo, with its staircase and The Chiostro del Paradiso. The Civic Museum houses the Tabula Amalphitana, the oldest code of navigation. The Paper Museum located in Palazzo Pagliara, in Valle dei Mulini, tells the history of one of the most important and ancient paper mills in Europe.
