Amalfi Cathedral and Cloister of Paradise
Amalfi, Italy

Amalfi’s cathedral complex provides an essential counterpoint to the town’s waterfront and shopping lanes. The cathedral and Cloister of Paradise reward a visit focused on architecture, sacred art and the city’s historical identity. Allow time to look beyond the famous exterior steps and appreciate the quieter spaces within the complex. Dress appropriately for an active religious site, check visitor access before arrival and avoid planning the visit around an assumed service-free schedule.
