 When you come to Amalfi Coast, the panorama is wonderful. White houses clinged on the rocks are opposed to the big Saint Andrew Church, located in the middle of Amalfi. Amalfi is full of steps and to arrive to the Cattedrale di S.Andrea there is a long way with 57 steps. On the right side of the Cathedral, we find the church tower(XII century) while above we discover the chiostro del Paradiso and the chiesa del Crocifisso. Here the visitor can discover the historical religious past of the Amalfi Church.
From the Atrium of the Cathedral in Amalfi, which hoverhangs the square, we discover little streets that go to discover new places of Amalfi. Every street hides a square, where in the past people used to sell his merchandise.  Through one of this street we discover Piazza dei Dogi, still called Piazza dei Ferrari, because there were smith's shop. From here, other streets go everywhere; one of these takes us to the sea, where  we find the entrance of the Antichi Arsenali. Another street takes us to the Vagliendola quarter, with its tower houses.  It was a monastry called San Pietro della Canonica and founded in the XIII century. From Piazza dei Dogi we get to Piazza dello Spirito Santo. It was the last square inside the wall of Amalfi, but the city isn't just here. Through the northern gate we go in the Valle dei Mulini, Amalfi. Here, we find the Museo della Carta, with its old machines, called "ingegni", to produce paper. Beyond we discover the last paper mill, belonged to Amatruda family, that still produce the old paper.
