Independent of the world, the beauty of vicissitudes

Beauty lies in the vicissitudes, beauty lies in the humanities. The long-standing cultural heritage has created the beauty of Amalfi town, different from other small towns along the coastline. Compared to the incredibly romantic and artistic Positano I visited yesterday, this central coastal town offers equally beautiful sea views but feels much more ancient and weathered. The landmark 'St. Andrew's Cathedral', with its black and white alternating design, has a long staircase of 62 steps at the entrance, rising as if leading to heaven. Amalfi has been rated by National Geographic as one of the 50 places to visit in a lifetime, a world heritage site.
