Amalfi Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Amalfi, Italy.

Amalfi Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Andrew, stands at the top of a wide staircase of shallow steps. Its striped facade of dark and light stone has a tall pointed porch with a rounded arch, flanked by two lower pointed arches, a row of twin columns, and a triangular gable with a mosaic figure in a blue field. A square bell tower of pale stone with arched openings and a clock face stands to the left. The interior is a long nave with a high, flat coffered ceiling covered in dark gold ornament, white walls with tall arches, pilasters, and marble panels in yellow, red, and grey, and rows of wooden pews leading to a raised altar area beneath a round arch.

Construction began in the 9th century as a Romanesque basilica and expanded over the following centuries, adding Arab-Norman, Gothic, and Baroque elements. The current facade dates from the 19th century and replaces an earlier structure that had partially collapsed.

The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Andrew, whose relics were brought from Constantinople in 1206 and kept in the crypt completed in 1208. Twice a year, during celebrations, a liquid called manna is collected in a glass from the area of the relics. In the left aisle, the Chapel of Reconciliation holds the relic of the saint's head.

The 62 wide, steep steps rise from Piazza del Duomo to the atrium, which links the bell tower, the Cloister of Paradise and the Basilica of the Crucifix. The bronze doors, cast in Constantinople before 1066, open into the Baroque interior; the crypt with Saint Andrew's relics lies below. The steps are exposed to rain and can be slippery.

The bronze doors were cast in Constantinople before 1066 and rank among the oldest surviving examples of this craft in post-Roman Italy. They display religious scenes in separate panels and were transported across the Mediterranean to Amalfi.
