This Duomo can be seen as you approach Amalfi from the sea. It sits atop a stepped promontory atop main Piazza in the town itself. In addition to the magnificent facade of golden mosaic, the bronze doors are also a feature as they date back hundreds of years. The Duomo is impressive and a must see in Amalfi. More

I really enjoyed the incredible gold work that was done on the celings . We learned that Andrea dell'Asta and his Neapolitan school was commissioned to do this work illustrating the life and martyrdom of Saint Andrew. It is really quite beautiful. The history behind this cathedral quite extensive and is very interesting. Be sure to have a guide, it... More

Amalfi’s beautiful duomo, Sant' Andrea, dates back to the 11th century. In 1206 the bones of Saint Andrew, one of Christ’s disciples, are said to have been brought to Amalfi from Constantinople and buried in the cathedral’s wonderfully ornate crypt, where they remain today. More

A visit to Amalfi Cathedral provides a glimpse of what the town may have been during its glory days. Definitely a place to be seen during a visit to Amalfi. More

I loved the "Cloister of Paradise" beside the Duomo, with its Moorish arcade of white marble and the garden. The hall of "treasures" was interesting, with some beautiful artifacts. I also found the church's connection with Saint Andrew very interesting. More

We were in Amalfi for the Festival of St Andrea at the end of June. It was quite busy, but if this is your sort of thing, it is very worthwhile. Outside of the festival week, this is still a very intersting and rewarding place to visit. There was no rushing, we were allowed to take all the time we... More
