Description
A fishing town with a busy fishing port, built at the feet of the slopes of Mount Falesio, Cetara developed from the IX century, when it became the settlement of a colony of Saracens. The inhabitants participated actively in the affairs of the ancient Marine Republic of Amalfi. The entire economy of the village revolves around its maritime traditions: the fleet of Cetara is one of the most active of the Mediterranean Sea, specialized in fishing, processing and preserving tuna and anchovies. Even the town's name reflects its intimate relationship with the sea and fishing. Cetara, in fact, seems to derive from "cetaria" (tuna fish) or "cetari" (sellers of large fish).
