Church description & History
Catholic wedding ceremonies in Amalfi take place in the marvellous Duomo of St. Andrew the Apostle whose remains are kept in the crypt. Its present façade, brilliant with mosaics, is in Oriental style; its bronze doors, the first ones to appear in Italy, were given to Amalfi by Pantaleone di Mauro Comite, a noble man from Amalfi, who melted them in the 11th century in Constantinople where he lived and led the Imperial Party. The duomo rises proudly at the end of steep steps that dominates that lively piazza where it is possible to admire a beautiful 18th century fountain.
