ITINERARY OF THE CASTLE

lauritano

In the square named after General Avitabile stands the Baroque style Church of SS. Annunziata, with cross vaults typical of the Amalfi Coast, with wooden statues and paintings of the XVIII-XIX centuries, a beautiful double-face Middle Ages marble cross and a Roman times stack of holy water. On leaving the church, turn right towards Via Miramare leading up to the Punta di San Lazzaro, with breathless views. Turning back, take to the right, via Radicosa that leads uphill to the ruins of the Maritime Republics bulwark Castle Lauritano, set in one of most beautiful and evocative settings in the world. The panorama from this balcony takes in, in one view, Amalfi Scala, Ravello up to Punta Licosa in the Cilento. The circuit ends back to the main road in San Lazzaro.
