9th Century Duomo - Amalfi Duomo & Museum

This Duomo creation started in the 9th and 10th centuries and has been added to and redecorated several times incorporating many different architectural styles including Gothic, Baroque, and Byzantine. It is dedicated to the apostle St. Andrew whose relics are kept here.

This is what caught my eye, I hope you enjoy!

62 wide and steep steps lead up to the front facade of the Duomo.

These bronze doors to the Duomo are bronze cast in Constantinople in 1057.
