Why go
The cathedral brings Amalfi's maritime past into one building. Its bronze doors were cast in Constantinople, while the adjoining Basilica of the Crucifix recalls an earlier church. Inside, later Baroque decoration sits beside older stonework; the crypt holds the tradition of Saint Andrew's relics. The mix is more revealing than the facade alone.
What to look for
- The bronze entrance doors were cast in Constantinople and signed by Simeon of Syria.
- The Basilica of the Crucifix stands beside the later cathedral.
- The crypt is associated with relics of Saint Andrew.
Useful to know
- Allow for the wide staircase rising from Piazza Duomo.
- Check access to the basilica and crypt before counting on seeing every part of the complex.
