Why go
The area belonged to the wider maritime republic of Amalfi, yet its landmarks are set among inland villages. Pucara's church of Sant'Erasmo has a carved portal, Figlino is noted for a painted tile floor, and Polvica recalls King Ferdinand I's refuge in Tramonti. Choose a few villages to make sense of the dispersed sights.
What to look for
- Sant'Erasmo in Pucara has a portal with carved columns and an engraved date.
- Figlino's church is noted for its painted tile floor.
- A plaque in Polvica recalls King Ferdinand I's stay in Tramonti.
Useful to know
- Pick specific villages before setting out; Tramonti's landmarks are spread across the hills.
- Combine an inland stop with Maiori if you want to compare the mountain settlements with the shore.
