Diocesan Museum of Amalfi

Housed in the former Basilica of the Crucifix, adjacent to the Amalfi Cathedral, the Diocesan Museum of Amalfi offers a deep dive into the religious heritage of the Amalfi diocese. The museum's collection spans centuries, featuring liturgical objects, sacred vestments, silverware, and sculptures from the cathedral and local churches. Among the highlights are a 13th-century silver altar frontal, intricately embroidered paraments, and a series of wooden statues depicting saints. The museum also displays fragments of medieval frescoes and a collection of ex-votos. The setting itself is atmospheric: the ancient basilica's stone walls and vaulted ceilings create a contemplative space. Visitors can appreciate the craftsmanship of these objects, which reflect Amalfi's historical wealth and its role as a maritime republic with ties to the Byzantine and Islamic worlds. The museum is less crowded than the cathedral, offering a peaceful retreat for art and history lovers.
