Pogerola
Pogerola, lying on top of a hill close by Amalfi, will mesmerise you all with the quietness of the natural landscapes and pure fresh air.
Known as Castrum Pigellula during the Middle Ages, when it was a proper defensive fortress that, along with Castrum Scalelle and huge imposing boundary walls, Pogerola held the city of Amalfi against probable enemies' attacks.
Climbing to the top of that sweet hill, you will have stunning views of the whole Gulf of Salerno, Amalfi Coast until archipelago Li Galli and, at a lower side, the hamlets of Lone and Pastena.
Once there remember to visit the XVI-century Church of Madonna delle Grazie, in the main piazza, as well as the Church of St Maria Vergine dating back to the XII century, with a notable pronaos covered by cross-vaults, and the Church of St Michele.
