The Amalfi Coast (Italian: Costiera amalfitana or Costa d'Amalfi) is a stretch of coastline in southern Italy overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Gulf of Salerno.

Attracting international tourists of all classes annually,[1] the Amalfi Coast was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.

[2] Atrani and Vietri sul Mare are marketed as I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").

[6] The Amalfi Coast is known for its production of limoncello liqueur, made between February and October from lemon (known as sfusato amalfitano in Italian) grown in terraced gardens along the entire coastline.

[citation needed] The rulers of Amalfi are the central figures in John Webster's Jacobean tragedy The Duchess of Malfi.
