Museo della Bussola e del Ducato Marinaro stands in Pogerola, a hillside village in the Amalfi area, above Amalfi’s busy coastal centre. Quieter streets and panoramic views connect the museum to the mountain landscape. It explores navigation and Amalfi’s maritime heritage, with the Mediterranean shaping the story throughout. The exhibits also place the coast’s history beside local crafts, religious traditions and everyday life.

Ship models, maps, historical documents and navigational instruments show how sailors and merchants crossed the Mediterranean. Compass displays follow a tool that made open-sea travel safer and more efficient. Amalfi’s period as an independent republic and duchy, from the ninth to the eleventh centuries, appears through trade, currency and community. The tarì gives that political history a tangible detail. Navigation sits alongside the coast’s economic change from fishing to commerce and later tourism. Regional lemons connect the maritime story with limoncello and delizia al limone.
