Conca dei Marini

Conca dei Marini is a very small town on the Amalfitana Coast: a very welcoming sea town. Many Italian and foreign tourists go there, thanks also to the Grotta dello Smeraldo, a wonderful cave with a submerged crib made of Vietri ceramics.

The ancient monastery dedicated to Saint Rose is very interesting. It was built in 1300 and dominates the town and the coast. According to a tradition, the cake called "Santa Rosa" was invented here: it’s a classical Neapolitan "Sfogliata" filled in with a delicious custard made of ricotta and pieces of candied fruits and decorated with black cherry jam. A festival is dedicated to this special cake.

The climate is very good and the sea is wonderful: this is why Conca is called "The Gem of Amalfitana Coast". Conca has always had famous visitors: for example Margareth of England liked the magic atmosphere of this wonderful place.
