Amalfi
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The former Republic of Amalfi,
rivalling Genoa, Venice and Pisa, dates from 9th Century.
Entering the town from the waterfront, just inside
the gate you will be in the enchanting piazza del Duomo with
the ninth century Cathedral of Saint Andreas (St. Andrew), whose remains
are said to be buried in the crypt and one of the best gelato shops
in Italy... the shop to the right as you come down the steps. The duomo
was rebuilt in the last century. |
Starting at the Piazza del Duomo there is a pleasant scenic walk to the Molini Valley (Valley of the Mills) where paper mills were established in early times, introducing paper to Italy |  |
|
| Amalfi, located about a 20 minute walk from our hotel, is the centre to buy boat tickets and travel along the coast visiting other locations or catch a bus for Naples, Pompei or other locations. |  |
