Road Construction
The Amalfi Drive, the single road along the coast, took 150 years to build, originally constructed by the Romans and later restored in the 1830s.
Domed Houses
Many houses in Positano and along the Amalfi Coast have white domes filled with sand, which acts as a natural insulator, keeping the houses warm in winter and cool in summer.
Independent Amalfi
The city of Amalfi was an independent republic from the 7th century to around 1075, claiming its independence from the Byzantine Empire and becoming a significant maritime power before Venice rose to prominence.
Ancient Origins
The history of Amalfi dates back to the 6th century BC, when the area was known as Magna Graecia, or Great Greece. This rich history is evident in historical sites like the 1000-year-old bronze door on the Amalfi Cathedral.
