"The Bell Tower and the Cloister"

The bell tower of St. Andrew's Cathedral viewed from the the corridors of the Cloister of Paradise.

"The Cloister of Paradise has become during the time another symbol of Amalfi and one of the most known and interesting buildings of the entire Amalfi Coast.

Built between 1266 and 1268, wanted by the archbishop Filippo Augustariccio, the Cloister of Paradise was a cemetery for the illustrious and meritorious citizens. Attached to the Basilica of the Assunta, it was joined to the archbishop’s palace and made of a four-sided portico with cross vaults, pointed arches, twin columns and woven arches of Moorish influence.

Inside the Cloister of Paradise, there were six frescoed chapels realized between the end of the XIII and the beginning of the XIV century. They belonged to noble families of Amalfi and hosted the sarcophagi with the bodies of their illustrious representatives. Of these sarcophagi, only five remain, but very important from the historical point of view.

They are: a sarcophagus representing the Rape of Proserpina, famous episode of the Greek mythology. One representing Romulus and Remus suckled by the she-wolf. The sarcophagus representing the Marriage of Peleus and Thetis. The roman one with ‘S’ grooves, with the coat of arms of the Favaro family of Amalfi and with the cross of Amalfi. The sarcophagus of the archbishop Pietro Capuano, died in 1359, with the sculpted images of the Virgin Mary, Christ, the Twelve Apostles and the saints bishops Blaise and Basil. Finally, the roman sarcophagus of the IV century AD that has the name of the Decurion Publio Ottavio Rufo.

At the center of the Cloister of Paradise, there is a wonderful garden with palm trees, probably built only after the restoration in 1908."
