Historicaly,
Cetara followed the sort of the Amalfi Republic. Because it was a border
town of Amalfi Republic and the Dukedom of Salerno, it began a
saracin navy base. From this place, saracins attacked Amalfi Coast and Paestum.
After the
Amalfi domination, Cetara was under the control of Erchie Abbey, later it
followed the sort of Cava Abbey, that used the Catara's barbour for their
Mediterranean trade.

destroyed Cetara.
