Amalfi
is a town in a dramatic natural setting below steep cliffs on Italy’s southwest
coast. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, it was the seat of a powerful
maritime republic. The Arab-Norman cathedral at the heart of town, with its
striped Byzantine facade, survives from this era. The Museo Arsenale Amalfi is
a medieval shipyard-turned-exhibition space.
