The majestic Amalfi’s Cathedral has a neo-Moorish Gothic-influenced facade, and the bell tower dates back to the period between 1108 AD and 1276 AD. Indoors there is a Baroque altar, some frescoes, Gothic and Renaissance works; there is also the crypt built on the tomb of the patron Saint Andrew that boasts beautiful frescoes.

Part of the cathedral complex is also the three naved the Church of the Crucifix, the most ancient cathedral of Amalfi, dating back to the 9th century, today housing the Diocesan Museum of Amalfi.
