Saint Andrew’s Cathedral : info and guided tour

Presentation of the Cathedral of Saint Andrew

In the heart of Amalfi, Saint Andrew’s Cathedral dominates Piazza Duomo with its monumental façade and spectacular staircase. This Catholic building is one of the city’s major landmarks, serving both as a place of worship and a symbol of its historical identity. Its architecture combines medieval influences with successive alterations.

The complex stands out for its richly decorated portal, adjoining cloister, and campanile visible from afar. Inside, the atmosphere is more restrained, punctuated by artistic and liturgical elements that recall Amalfi’s former prestige. The cathedral is particularly well known for its central role in local religious life.

Dedicated to Saint Andrew, the city’s patron saint, it houses his relics in the crypt, making it an important place of devotion. This also explains the high number of visitors to the monument, both tourists and worshippers alike. The cathedral is one of the iconic sites to discover during a stay on the Amalfi Coast.
