Latest Amalfi hotel reviews
It is architectonical complex made by two communicating churches, a crypt, a stair, an atrium, a church tower and a cloister called “Chiostro del Paradiso”.
The first core of this complex, is the northern church built during the IX century; in this church we find a wide nave with a narrow aisle, later used to connect the old church to the new one.
But already before the IX century Amalfi had a church as cathedral and this is documented in a letter, dated 596, wrote by Pope Gregorio Magno, to the rector of the churches in “Campania”, where the Pope rebuked “Pimerio”, bishop of the “Civitas Amalfitana”, because he did not live in Amalfi. Analysing the letter was discovered that “Pimerio” was not the fist bishop of the town, but there were somebody else before his (“Pervenit ad nos Pimerium Amalfitanae Civitatis episcoporum” = “came to us Pimerio from the bishops of Amalfi town…”).

The Cathedral was built in the ninth century and enlarged in 990, when doge Mansone III, received "the promotion and elevation of this Episcopal church to metropolitan status" from Pope John XV.
It's present architectural structure was completed in 1203.
After the collapse of the facade on December 24, 1861, The atrium and entire facade were rebuilt by Enrico Alvino, with the collaboration of Domenico Morelli.
The facade, inaugurated in 1891, is in a style reminiscent of Norman Campania architecture.
