The hill village of Pastena is only 1 km from Amalfi. It is the village closest to the city walls from where you can admire one of the most beautiful views in the area.<\/p>\n

The name of the village probably derives from ‘pastinato’, a term used since the Middle Ages to indicate a particular agricultural contract that monasteries or noble families stipulated with their settlers; by virtue of this contract, the farmers undertook to improve the land they received by building ‘macerine’, dry-stone walls to contain the terracing, and by introducing new crops of vines, chestnuts and olives. The settler had to pay the owners a part of the produce from the land, and could build himself a house to live in with his family.<\/p>\n

The place name was first recorded in a document from the year 860. It was referred to as the comes annalis Costatino de Pastina<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The view from the church of Madonna Assunta<\/a>, recognisable by its unique sea-green majolica bell tower, is characterised by terraces and small houses typical of the coastal area. Another visit worthy of mention is the 14th-century Church of the Madonna del Carmine<\/a>, also known as the Church of S. Maria del Pino, which houses the fresco of the ‘Flight into Egypt’ and several 19th-century statues of saints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
