This walk is short but full of surprises, weaving together history, faith and spectacular landscapes. With its gentle climbs and evocative staircases, the route offers unforgettable views of the coast. To get here, we highly recommend public transport over driving: https://www.visitamalfi.info/en/getting-there/

The routes starts at Piazza Duomo, in the heart of Amalfi, before heading along the Supportico San Andrea, once part of the defensive system against the feared Saracens.

Along the way, you’ll discover the Church of Sant'Anna Piccola, patron saint of expectant mothers, and the ceramic panel next to the town hall, recounting the journey of St Andrew's relics from Constantinople to Amalfi.

Heading up towards Piazza Municipio, in the Campolillo district, the real magic begins. Ancient steps climb between fragrant lemon groves and postcard views of the Duomo bell tower. Expect suspended terraces and Mediterranean tranquility, as the route leads up to the Belvedere di San Lorenzo and its breathtaking view. Once in Piazza Municipio, you can take the panoramic lift up to the Belvedere, should you wish to avoid more stairs.

From here, you’ll descend gradually towards Atrani, through alleys and arches. The Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maddalena and its fabulous view of the sea await. For the return to Amalfi, continue along the scenic coastal road, with superlative views of the sea.

View of Amalfi

Highlight • Viewpoint

Amalfi holds centuries of history in its folds of stone and sea. Born in Roman times, passed through the hands of the Byzantines and Lombards, in the Middle Ages it became one of the powerful Maritime Republics, an undisputed protagonist of trade in the Mediterranean between the 9th and 11th centuries.

Today, its splendor is told by the narrow streets that climb between colorful houses, the ruined towers and the remains of ancient fortifications: living traces of a past that still whispers between the walls.

Amalfi Cathedral (Cathedral of Saint Andrew)

Highlight • Religious Site

Amalfi Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Sant’Andrea, houses not only precious relics but also stories steeped in legend.

It is said that in 1218 Saint Francis of Assisi came here to pay homage to the apostle and his relics. The charm of the place won him over to the point of remaining in Amalfi for two years. It was during that period that he founded a convent, initially dedicated to Santa Maria degli Angeli, which later took the name of Sant’Antonio.

View of Amalfi

Highlight • Viewpoint

From up here, the beauty of the village is revealed in all its entirety. Only from above can you truly grasp how this corner of the world is nestled between steep rock walls and a sea that almost touches perfection. On sunny days, everything shines: the colors, the shapes, the houses, the harmony. A breathtaking sight.

Collegiate Church of St. Mary Magdalene

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of S. Maria Maddalena Built in 1274 in a suggestive position facing the sea on the ruins of an ancient fortress, the church of S. Maria Maddalena was erected in suffrage of the Saint who had freed the town from the occupation of the Saracen mercenaries of Manfredi; the church was restored in 1570 and 1669 with the funds of a special tax self-imposed by the Atranesi; in 1753 the church underwent further expansion works and took on the current structure with three naves and, on that occasion, the last remains of the ancient fort were eliminated; in 1852 it was completely modernized by the Salerno architect Lorenzo Casalbore. Currently the church has a beautiful facade, the only example of Rococò on the Amalfi Coast, a majolica dome and an elegant sixteenth-century bell tower in brown tuff with a square plan with a two-story octagonal belfry similar to that of the Madonna del Carmine in Naples. ; an ancient caravel is carved in the tuff on the side facing the sea. The interior of the church is divided into three naves separated by polychrome marble pillars, it is equipped with two transepts, one of which is vaulted, the other flat-cut. You can admire numerous eighteenth-nineteenth-century paintings and statues that enrich the patronal chapels. On the main altar stands a wooden altarpiece depicting Santa Maria Maddalena and on the sides two minor paintings depicting Sant 'Andrea and San Sebastiano, all works by an unknown painter from Maiori. Finally, the bronze doors of San Salvatore in birecto are noteworthy, with panels depicting Stories of Saints Pantaleone and Sebastian. On July 22, the Feast of Santa Maria Maddalena is celebrated, with the traditional procession of the statue: on this occasion the sarchiapone is prepared, a long green pumpkin stuffed with meat and cheese and baked in the oven
