Amalfi Coast, Italy 2022 | The Cathedral of St. Andrew (Duomo di Amalfi)

Set between the mountains and the sea, the Amalfi Coast is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is one of Italy's most memorable destinations. Located in the Campania region of Italy, the Amalfi Coast displays sky-high costal cliffs raised from the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The coast with its 13 picturesque and multicolored seaside towns offers the traveler probably the most stunning views in Italy. The seaside towns on the Amalfi Coast are all connected via the SS163 highway, one of the most scenic roads in the world.
Amalfi is the town that gives the name to the area and it is a starting point to visit the Coast. Amalfi lies at the foot of Monte Cerreto (1,315 metres) surrounded by soaring cliffs and coastal scenery. The town is located mostly vertical between the water and the mountains and has the typical appearance of the towns in the area. Amalfi is a historical town with wonderful landmarks and a monumental Cathedral with a beautiful church tower bell visible from the water.
The Cathedral of St. Andrew (Duomo) is the religious, historic and cultural heart of Amalfi. The Cathedral, dedicated from its origins to St. Andrew the Apostle, was founded in 987, enlarged at the beginning of the 13th century and reconstructed in the 19th century. The bell tower was built between the 12th and 13th centuries and decorated with marble and majolica in the Arab-Norman style. The Romanesque façade was rebuilt in 1891 in striped marble and stone and decorated with mosaics, to replace the baroque one that collapsed in 1861. The Cathedral bronze doors are cast in Constantinople in 1060 and signed by Simeon of Syria. The Cathedral includes the adjoining 9th-century Basilica of the Crucifix, with the Crypt of St. Andrew, where his relics are kept. The remains of St. Andrew were brought to Amalfi from Constantinople in 1206 during the Fourth Crusade by Cardinal Pietro Capuano.
The Cathedral’s interior is in Baroque style, dating from the 18th century. The ceiling is decorated with paintings showing scenes from the life of St. Andrew. The central apse is supported by two ancient granite columns that were found at the Greek ruins in Paestum. The silver bust of St. Andrew dates from the 16th century.
