Amalfi's Harbor (Costiera Amalfitana, Italy)
This photograph was taken from the small and picturesque harbor, just in front of the town, at dusk.
Amalfi is the main town of the Costiera Amalfitana (Amalfi Coast). First mentioned in the 6th century, Amalfi soon afterwards acquired importance as a maritime power. It has been an independent republic from the 7th century until 1075 and the capital of the maritime republic known as the Duchy of Amalfi between 839 and around 1200. During this period, Amalfi rivalled Pisa and Genoa in its domestic prosperity and maritime importance before the rise of Venice. Amalfi lies on the Gulf of Salerno, in the region of Campania in southern Italy, at the mouth of a deep ravine, at the foot of Monte Cerreto (1,315 meters, 4,314 feet), surrounded by dramatic cliffs and coastal scenery. Like Ravello (see two pictures posted before), Positano and other towns on the Costiera, Amalfi is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This town has a long history as a tourist attraction. Famous visitors included the composer Richard Wagner and the playwright Henrik Ibsen, both of whom completed works while staying in Amalfi.
