Amalfi is a picturesque town located on the Amalfi Coast in the Campania region of Southern Italy. It is renowned for its stunning coastal scenery, characterized by dramatic cliffs and azure waters. Historically, Amalfi was one of the powerful maritime republics during the Middle Ages, alongside Venice, Genoa, and Pisa.

The town is home to the Amalfi Cathedral (Cattedrale di Sant'Andrea), a striking example of medieval architecture that features a mix of Romanesque, Byzantine, and Arab-Norman styles. The cathedral dates back to the 9th century and is dedicated to Saint Andrew, the town's patron saint.

Amalfi is also known for its production of limoncello, a lemon liqueur, and its traditional hand-made paper, known as "bambagina." The town's economy is heavily reliant on tourism, with visitors drawn to its historical sites, beautiful beaches, and scenic hiking trails such as the Path of the Gods.

The town is accessible via the coastal road SS163, which offers breathtaking views of the coastline, and is a popular destination for day trips from nearby cities like Naples and Salerno. Amalfi is also part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its cultural and natural significance.
