Housed in a former seminary adjacent to the Amalfi Cathedral, the Diocesan Museum offers a deep dive into the religious heritage of the Amalfi Coast. The collection spans centuries, featuring intricately crafted silverware, precious vestments, and illuminated manuscripts. Highlights include the silver statue of Saint Andrew, the city's patron saint, and a 13th-century crucifix. The museum's intimate rooms allow visitors to appreciate the craftsmanship up close.
