A picturesque interlacing of alleys and stairs overlooking the sea with all its extraordinary colours will enchant you when you get to Amalfi, the town that gives the name to the whole coast. Dominated by its imposing Cathedral dedicated to Saint Andrew, it offers a number of interesting proofs of its glorious past as a Maritime Republic.

Amalfi continuously attracts tourists from all over the world who look for light and beauty. It is the place for a never-ending spring. The colours, which change hour by hour, make this sea unrivalled. In this corner of earthly paradise, history and legend get together, overlap and make a single inseparable thing. Tradition has it that Hercules, the heathen god of strength fell in love with a nymph named Amalfi, but his love did not last long: she died and Hercules wanted to bury her in the world’s most beautiful place and he gave her name to the town in order to eternalize her.
