Day 8 on the Amafli Coast
Susanna has tips for our free day. Many will take the ferry boat to Amalfi and some will continue on to options from there. We will visit the 11th century Baroque style Duomo (Cathedral) of Sant' Andrea (Saint Andrew), and Piazza Duomo. The bronze St. Andrew's statue was sculpted by a student of Michenangelo. During earlier times the Amalfi Independent Republic was a maritime trading power. They developed a widely recognized maritime code and the magnetic compass for navigation. They were also academic leaders in math and the study of law. The town was sacked in the 1100's it lost its status and became a backwater. Now its strength is attracting and welcoming huge numbers of visitors and protecting its beautiful environment.
