The cities and countryside towns of the Amalfi Coast are different one from the other, each with its own traditions and peculiarities that render them singular and unique; nonetheless, they are all characterized by architectonic monuments like the Saracen Tower of Cetara; the Romanesque Cathedral of Amalfi and its “Cloister of Paradise,” clearly under the Oriental influence; the Church of San Salvatore de’ Bireto in Atrani, where the swearing-in ceremony for the Doges of Amalfi traditionally takes place; and Ravello, with its beautiful cathedral and the superb Villa Rufolo.
