Amalfi Cathedral
Monumental ConstructionDescription
Amalfi Cathedral is a monumental construction in Italy, Europe.
Amalfi Cathedral rises above the town's main square at the top of a broad staircase. Dedicated to Saint Andrew, its complex includes medieval buildings, a decorated campanile and the Cloister of Paradise, reflecting Amalfi's Mediterranean connections. The cathedral complex incorporates a ninth-century basilica and a later tenth-century cathedral phase. This broad early medieval interval does not date the nineteenth-century reconstruction of the façade.
