Amalfi Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Andrew or Duomo di Sant Andrea, is one of the most iconic and prestigious locations for a Catholic wedding on the Amalfi Coast. Situated at the top of a sweeping monumental staircase in the heart of Amalfi, this historic cathedral offers an extraordinary setting for couples dreaming of a luxury destination wedding in Italy. Dating back to the 9th century, Amalfi Cathedral represents a remarkable fusion of architectural styles including Romanesque, Gothic, Moorish and Baroque influences. Its striking façade, decorated with geometric mosaics and framed by the majestic bell tower, creates a powerful visual impact and is one of the most photographed wedding locations in Italy. Inside, the cathedral reveals a breathtaking interior: a richly decorated nave with a coffered ceiling adorned with gold, an imposing high altar surrounded by marble columns and artistic masterpieces, and a dramatic central aisle leading to the sanctuary. For Catholic couples seeking a deeply meaningful ceremony, the venue carries profound spiritual significance, as the crypt houses the sacred relics of Saint Andrew the Apostle, patron saint of Amalfi.
A Catholic wedding at Amalfi Cathedral offers a solemn and emotionally powerful ceremony within one of the most historically significant religious sites in Italy. Ceremonies can be celebrated in English, making the cathedral ideal for international couples planning a destination wedding on the Amalfi Coast. The exceptional acoustics enrich the atmosphere with sacred music, whether through live organ performance, choir or classical ensemble. Why couples choose Amalfi Cathedral:
