Amalfi is a coastal town in Campania, southern Italy, nestled on the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Amalfi Cathedral, with its Byzantine doors and Arab-Norman architecture, dominates the main piazza. Visitors explore the dramatic coastline by boat, hike scenic mountain paths, and wander through narrow streets lined with lemon groves and artisan shops.
Amalfi is a historic coastal town on the Sorrentine Peninsula in the Campania region of southern Italy, situated along the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana). Once a powerful medieval maritime republic, it now serves as a primary destination on one of Europe's most celebrated scenic coastlines, positioned between Positano to the west and Ravello and Salerno to the east. Its geography, culture, and culinary identity are closely tied to the broader Campania region and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
