The village of Torre
The rural village of Torre stands uphill east of Minori, its names comes from the presence of defences and towers (torri), of which tere are unlucky no remains. The village winds along the hill road from Minori to Maiori, characterised by small gruops of houses surrounded by marvellous lemon gardens.
