Why Amalfi Cathedral matters

The cathedral's facade is a mix of Arab-Norman patterns and gold mosaics, topped with a bell tower. Inside, a cloister called the Cloister of Paradise is a quiet, beautiful space. Climb the grand staircase, step inside the cool cloister and picture the town in its days as a sea power.

Talking points

  • Facade mixes Arab-Norman patterns.
  • Cloister of Paradise is calm.
  • Sits on a stepped square.
