Introduzione

Amalfi's main historical sight is its Duomo (also known as Cattedrale di Sant'Andrea), the cathedral is an impressive complex structure located in the main square of Amalfi. It sits high above the main square named after it. It has ancient origins and has been renovated a few times through the centuries. The Duomo Sant'Andrea embodies Amalfi's historical past and contains its patron saint, Saint Andrew the Apostle, his remains were brought here and put in the cathedral's crypt.

History

Originally built in the ninth century to house the saint's bones, which came from Constantinople and supposedly exuded a miraculous liquid, that believers call the “manna of St. Andrew”. The church was completely rebuilt in 1203 in Arabo-Normanno styles; and the campanile dates from 1180 to 1276. The magnificent portico, with pointed arches, was completely rebuilt in 1865. The front was restored in 1890 and is decorated with modern mosaic; the fine bronze door was the first in Italy, and is made from bronze brought back from Constantinople by a local nobleman, Pantaleone di Mauro Comite.

Location

Address: Piazza del Duomo, Amalfi, Italy
Directions: It is located in the center of the town in the main square.

Whats to see

Approaching the Duomo is almost part of the experience seeing the huge flight of steps leading up from the square to the bronze doors. The doors were casted in Costantinopoli in 1066, at the time, the town of Amalfi was a powerful sea-republic. The doors are decorated with figures of Christ, Mother Mary, and the Saints Andrea e Pietro. The facade of the church seems to be a mix of Romanesque and Moorish design with some other influences imposed on it since the original structure was built in the 11th century. Inside there are ancient columns of Paestum, supporting the choir. The statues and paintings inside the Cathedral itself date from the 17th and 18th centuries. Steps from the basilica lead down into the Cripta di Sant'Andrea (Crypt of St. Andrew), built in 1253, which is really worth a visit. To the left, in the portico, is the entrance to the cloister (Chiostro del Paradiso), which contains ancient sarcophagi, marble and mosaics. The central mosaic is by Domenico Morelli. There is also a museum housing sarcophagi, sculpture, Neapolitan goldsmithing, and other treasures from the cathedral complex.

Chiostro del Paradiso

Adjoining the Duomo is Chiostro del Paradiso (Paradise Cloister), built around 1266 as a burial ground for Amalfi's elite and one of the architectural treasures of southern Italy. Its flower-and-palm-filled quadrangle has a series of exceptionally delicate intertwining arches on slender double columns in a combination of Byzantine and Arabian styles.
