The of St Andrew in Amalfi is a medieval church incorporating various architectural styles and dominating the central piazza of Amalfi. When we visited there was a service taking place so we contented ourdelves with the facade and the historic area around the cathedral. Parking in Amalfi was surprisingly easy since the town has a huge underground car park hollowed out of a hill which certainly saves trying to find street parking. The Di Sant Andrea is also called Duomo di Amalfi ! The church is dedicated to apostle André! It’s the monument in the center of Amalfi, you can’t miss it ! Very crowded ! It’s huge and monument ! Highly recommended visit The Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea in Amalfi is one of the town’s most landmarks and absolutely worth a visit. The exterior is stunning, with its impressive staircase and striking façade that immediately catches your eye as you arrive in the square. Inside, the church is just as remarkable, with ornate details and a peaceful yet solemn atmosphere. It’s also an important religious site as it houses the relics of Saint Andrew. There is usually a lot of people, so expect crowds, especially during the day, but it is still an unmissable stop if you are in Amalfi. Must see with incredible and architecture spanning 4 different styles, Romanesque, Arab-Norman, Baroque, and Gothic. The church has been rebuilt and added to so many times, making it a really unique piece of and a snapshot of the culture of the time of construction. Of note obviously is the supposed remains of Saint Andrew who is said to be interred in a crypt from the 1200’s. Not to be outdone by any of the other strange and amazing claims by European Catholic Churches, it is said that manna forms on the sarcophagus and collected from the saints bones, so that’s something. All weirdness aside, the artwork, craftsmanship, and ornate structures inside and out are so worth the price of admission. The of St Andrew in Amalfi is worth every sweaty step up those stairs, think of it as your cardio session before the experience. The place is stunning, grand enough to make you forget your aching calves. Inside, it’s peaceful, beautiful, and full of history. Outside, it’s pure Italian drama, bells ringing, tourists posing, and pigeons doing whatever pigeons do best. A perfect mix of holiness and chaos. Highly recommend, but maybe skip leg day before visiting. When you are in Amalfi town you can't miss it. One of the buildings in Amalfi. It's worth it to climb the stairs and to spend 4 euro to go inside. Especially during hot days. cathedral, well worth the €4 entry (€3 concessions). Not horrendously busy, lots to see. We particularly enjoyed the mosaics. I've dropped one star because I suspect that the English captions (translations from Italian) have been done by AI or a similar system - they're not at all readable. For example, one caption refers to "vegetables" around a figure on a plinth, when it intends to say "vegetation". We were also concerned about the lack of protection for most of the mosaics and sculptures. You'd like to think that people can be trusted not to touch artefacts, but as has been seen at sites like Pompeii, that's not always the case. The of St. Andrew the Apostle is strikingly and sits right at the center of Amalfi’s piazza. You’ll enter by climbing a dramatic grand staircase, which makes the whole experience feel even more impressive. Inside, the features stunning marble throughout and intricately detailed painted mural ceilings. The crypt, which holds the relics of St. Andrew, is a peaceful space still used for prayer, adding to the depth of the visit. Just off the is the Cloister of Paradise, a quiet and courtyard surrounded by elegant columns and arches. There’s also a small museum on-site with religious artifacts, including a display case said to hold a thorn from the crown of Jesus during the crucifixion. Whether you're visiting for the history, architecture, or connection, the leaves a lasting impression. Cost around 5 euro per person to enter the cathedral. You really can’t miss it - only 2 minutes away from the shore front where the bus or ferry drops you off. Full of incredible artefacts and beautifully preserved. The itself is jaw dropping inside. The rich of the and its artefacts is regularly denoted by signs. There are signs requesting that you dress moderately, don’t use a flash camera and respect the sanctity of the cathedral. That being said, there were plenty of people taking pictures inside…. As with most of the Churches and Cathedrals we visited in Italy you can light a candle beside a voluntary donation box. I would not recommend trying to eat your lunch on the steps as the Carabinieri will get out of their Alfa Romeo and shout at you. We saw this happen leaving the and a second time having had our lunch up the street. Beautiful in a stunning location - just don’t try to eat on the steps. Italian police don’t like having to leave their Alfa. St. Andrew’s stands as the magnificent centerpiece of Amalfi’s square, serving as the town’s heart. The cathedral’s stunning architecture and sacred atmosphere create an unforgettable experience, particularly the rare opportunity to venerate a relic of St. Andrew, Christ’s first disciple. The adjoining museum and ancient crypt are equally impressive, offering rich historical insights. The staff welcomes visitors with genuine warmth and helpfulness. For English-speaking visitors: the offers Sunday evening Mass in English at 6 PM during summer months. While intimate in size, this service provides a meaningful opportunity for international visitors to fully participate in worship after attending Italian-language services elsewhere. St. Andrew’s exemplifies Christian hospitality, graciously accommodating both pilgrims and tourists with a spirit that truly reflects its sacred mission. Visiting the of Saint Andrew in Amalfi was one of the most impressive experiences of my trip. The church is truly breathtaking, both inside and out. The grand staircase leading up to the entrance, the beautifully detailed façade, and the striking blend of architectural styles make it a masterpiece that immediately captures your attention. Inside, the atmosphere is equally captivating—peaceful, spiritual, and filled with artistic details that reflect centuries of history. Every corner seems to tell a story, and the craftsmanship is nothing short of extraordinary. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone visiting Amalfi. It is not only a landmark but also an unforgettable cultural and experience that should not be missed.
