CONCA DEI MARINI

Conca dei Marini was an important trading centre, declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.  It takes its name from the village’s shape: a valley by the sea, flocked with little white houses. The Tower of Silence or White Tower, which could be one of the most beautiful Saracen towers of the Amalfi Coast is its most amazing attraction. It was built in the sixth century and it used to be a cemetery, today the White Tower has a breathtaking view especially if you admire it from the sea.  Just beyond Conca dei Marini a lift can take you down to the impressive Emerald Grotto, with its emerald hues reflecting off the underwater rock faces.  Today, it is a little jewel of the Amalfi Coast with its 3km of Coastline and a breathtaking panorama. Conca dei Marini is a very little fishing village where Princess Margaret of England used to come on holiday. With an old gastronomic tradition, It is “the Santarosa” birthplace, (the Santarosa is the “ancestor” of the Sfogliatella) a seashell shape pastry with cream and black cherry inside. According to a legend in the 7th century, few cloistered nuns invented the Santarosa in the Conca dei Marini Monastery.  Today the Monastery is a very elegant hotel with a spectacular view on the Salerno Bay. Visit the belvedere Punta “Vreca”, a panorama spot with the shape of a ship. Don’t miss the unforgettable sea of Conca dei Marini… peace and quiet, away from bustling towns!
