Scala's Unmissable Gems

Scala, the oldest village on the Amalfi Coast, preserves a medieval character across its hillside hamlets. This collection highlights the 12th-century Duomo di San Lorenzo and the Romanesque ruins of Sant'Eustachio in Pontone. The list also covers the region's industrial heritage at the Museo della Carta and the natural beauty of the Valle delle Ferriere, a reserve known for its waterfalls and rare pre-glacial ferns. Historic watchtowers and the iconic gardens of Ravello complete this survey of the area's cultural landscape.
