BELVEDERE FROM CASTELLO LAURITANO

Shaded by the remnants of a fortress, this vantage point is reached from Gen. Avitabile Square, via a convenient road immersed in a chestnut coppice forest. Dating back to the time of the Maritime Republics, built as a bulwark of one of the most beautiful and evocative settings in the world, Lauritano Castle presents itself as a balcony not only over Amalfi, its cathedral and its sea, but also over the historic towns of Scala, Ravello as far away as Punta Licosa in Cilento.
