I really enjoyed the place. I felt the entrance fee to the Cathedral was very reasonable considering how many precious things they have to keep up. The cloister itself is peaceful and beautiful, and you can see the bell tower from it. I enjoyed the mosaic slabs they had in there, they were stunning, and the tombs were touching too.... More

I would recommend that everyone should have 5 minutes of the peace of... More

I felt the fee to enter is donation to the Duomo. Unless you are interested in the historical architect or something, it may be worth, but otherwise, I could not find any special here for pay.

I had no idea that this wonderful place existed in Amalfi's cathedral. We walked down the marble steps and into a beautiful sanctuary. I sat quietly for several minutes and just took in the elegance and glory of this amazing place. In all of Italy, it was one of my favorite spots. The artwork is amazing and the statues are... More

Next to Amalfi's cathedral is il Chiostro del Paradiso (the cloister of paradise), built in 1266 as the cemetery for Amalfi’s nobility, its white columns and pointed arches reflect the Arabic influence often seen along this coastline. It’s now an open-air museum, with ancient pillars, sarcophagi and mosaics on display and a beautiful central garden. Adjoining the cloister is the... More

Amid the touristy buzz, a hugely tranquil retreat and the simplicity a sharp contrast to what comes next!

The Cloisters of Paradise were built as a graveyard for the wealthy citizens and priests of Amalfi in the middle ages. The entrance is to the left of the Duomo entrance under the canopy. The entrance fee is 2 euros 50c. The cloister is a small area of a gothicly carved stonework around a small garden. Some Roman sarcophagi and... More
