Casa Vagliendola rises from the steep coastal cliffs as a stark, white-washed fortress of stone. Its thick walls and narrow, recessed windows reflect a time when the residents of Amalfi lived under the constant threat of pirate raids from the sea. In the sixteenth century, this structure served as a lookout point where guards monitored the horizon for enemy sails. Today, the salt-worn masonry remains, housing a quiet residence that still keeps a sharp eye over the dark blue water below.
