Amalfi (UK: /əˈmælfi/,[3][4] US: /ɑːˈmɑːlfi/,[5] Italian: [aˈmalfi]) is a town and comune in the province of Salerno, in the region of Campania, Italy, on the Gulf of Salerno. It lies at the mouth of a deep ravine, at the foot of Monte Cerreto (1,315 metres, 4,314 feet), surrounded by dramatic cliffs and coastal scenery.[6][7] The town of Amalfi was the capital of the maritime republic known as the Duchy of Amalfi, an important trading power in the Mediterranean between 839 and around 1200.[8]
The town became a popular seaside resort beginning in the Edwardian era, with members of the British upper class spending their winters in Amalfi.[9] Amalfi is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.[10]
