The Tuscan poet and writer Renato
Fucini (1843-1921) once wrote, Judgment Day will
feel like any other day to the people of Amalfi
who will go to Paradise.
The Amalfi Coast boasts one of the most stunning
views in Italy
What stands out amongst Amalfi's many riches is
without a doubt the magnificent Cathedral, a true
jubilation of art dedicated to Sant'Andrea patron
of the city

Duomo
Basilica of the Crucifix
The cloister
Originally there were two churches, both with
three naves. The first one (the Church of the
Crucifix) is the old Cathedral, reconstructed
between 959 and 1004 the second, wider and with
a transept, was built some time before 1066, when
its bronze doors were cast in Constantinople.  
The cloister leads into the Basilica of the
Crucifix, dating from the 10th century and
containing more treasures. The basilica now
houses the cathedral's museum and treasury
