Amalfi (English spelling)
A port town on the north shore of the Gulf of Salerno, about 15 km southwest of Salerno, in the province of Salerno in Campania, southern Italy. It flourished as a port town after coming under the control of the Byzantine Empire, and prospered as a maritime republic rivaling Pisa in the 9th century, but was destroyed by Pisa in 1135 and 1137 and fell into decline. A picturesque old town on a beautiful coast, it is one of Italy's leading tourist and health destinations, and was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1997. The Basilica of Sant'Andrea, built in the 9th century, is a Lombard-Norman style building with a black and white stone facade (restored in the 19th century), and the magnificent bronze doorway was made in Constantinople (now Istanbul) around 1066. There is a food industry. Population 5,585 (1991 estimate).
