Amalfi, a historic town on the Amalfi Coast, stands as a captivating highlight on the Salamander Adventures trek. Renowned for its maritime history, architectural splendour, and vibrant cultural legacy, Amalfi is a must-visit destination that blends natural beauty with centuries of heritage.

Main Attraction: The Heart of a Maritime Republic

Amalfi was one of Italy’s four powerful maritime republics, alongside Venice, Pisa, and Genoa. During its height in the 9th and 10th centuries, Amalfi dominated trade routes between Europe and the East. The Cathedral of St. Andrew, an architectural masterpiece blending Romanesque, Byzantine, and Baroque styles, is a central landmark. Another notable feature is the Museo della Carta, which offers a glimpse into Amalfi’s historic paper-making industry that dates back to the 12th century. These attractions underscore Amalfi’s unique cultural and historical importance.
