The heart of the town, adorned with the prestigious Fontana del Popolo (People's Fountain) copy of the original one taken by a tempest, is overhung by the imposing stairway of the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea (St.Andrew). It was built in 9th century and received many restorations during following centuries which modified its original structure. The interior of the church is in baroque style, with plenty of polychrome marbles, silver manufats and precious paintings. Spectacular is the wooden coffered ceiling decorated with gold and richly painted.

From the cathedral we get into the ancient Basilica of the Crucifix, the former cathedral of Amalfi, which keeps inestimable frescos from 14th century among the imposing columns. 

You cannot forget to visit the renowned Valle dei Mulini (Mills' Valley), considered by the Romantic travellers one of the most beautiful places in the world. Along the river Chiarito they were built many factories: iron, paper, furnaces, ceramics all powered by mills. A scenery portrayed by many Romantic painter, especially from Germany. An unique and precious treasure is the Museum of Paper from Amalfi, organized in the old paper factory Milano: there we can admire the medieval machineries for paper production, escaped to the abandon and still working.
