Traditional techniques and materials in the Amalfi Coast: The Norman Tower in Maiori

A distinct architectural style unique to Italy has emerged on the Amalfi Coast, shaped by its southeastern exposure, towering mountains forming fjord-like landscapes, and prevailing southern winds. This study examines how these geographical factors have influenced traditional building techniques and materials, focusing on the Norman Tower in Maiori as a case study. The research highlights the region's sustainable architectural heritage, offering insights into how natural conditions have historically guided construction practices.
