Vietri sul Mare

Built around the mouth of the Bonea River on the Gulf of Salerno, Vietri sul Mare grew into one of Campania’s best-known centres of hand-painted ceramics. It marks the eastern end of the Amalfi Coast, where steep slopes meet the Tyrrhenian Sea and the coastal road continues towards the peninsula’s celebrated towns. Ceramic-tiled façades, workshops and the dome of San Giovanni Battista lend the historic centre its distinctive colour. The town’s maiolica tradition is also documented at the Museo della Ceramica Vietrese in nearby Raito. Closely connected with Salerno, Vietri retains the working character of a coastal craft town.
