Amalfi - Harbor / Municipal Museum

(Local Name: Museo Civico) Along the coast in Amalfi runs a promenade and a beach. From the harbor, the Marina Grande, there are boat services to Naples, Capri and Salerno in the summer. The houses cling to the bay. From the harbor it is a short distance by way of Piazza Flavio Gioia to the Town Hall; the facade is decorated with modern mosaic. The municipal museum (Museo Civico) is housed in the Town Hall; its major attraction is the so-called "Tavole amalfitane", a medieval document with the maritime law of ancient times. To the north lies the little Piazza del Duomo, from which a flight of 62 steps leads up to the cathedral.
