A scattered medieval village in the Monti Lattari, with houses perched on the ridge and a small marina set in the Fjord.

Furore spreads over the southern slope of the Monti Lattari, east of Praiano, on a hillside reaching about 300 metres. The houses, perched on the slope since the Middle Ages, form several separate clusters: one high up, along the limestone ridge, and one low down, on the coast. We like this village without a real square, to be discovered by climbing up and down.The cluster by the sea is the Marina del Fiordo, wedged into a deep cleft in the rock, which made it a natural fortress. According to tradition, the village also grew thanks to people from Amalfi exiled for political reasons. We recommend walking the paths and stairways that link the various parts of the village.
