About Piazza del Duomo and the Fountain of Saint Andrew
The lively main square at the foot of the cathedral steps, with its cafes, lemon stalls, and the 18th-century marble Fountain of Saint Andrew.
The Piazza del Duomo is the social heart of Amalfi, the place where the whole town converges. From here the cathedral staircase rises dramatically to the striped facade above, while cafe tables, gelato counters, and stalls selling the Amalfi Coast's enormous lemons fill the square below. At its centre stands the Fountain of Saint Andrew, a marble fountain of 1760 crowned by a statue of the town's patron saint and adorned with playful spouts. Narrow lanes radiate from the piazza into the dense, vertical maze of the old town, and at almost any hour the square is alive with locals, pilgrims, and visitors.
Did you know? The huge, knobbly lemons piled around the piazza are the sfusato amalfitano, grown on the terraced cliffs above town and protected by a European designation of origin.
