Spent a day visiting Amalfi and then Ravello. Amalfi very bustling and tourist-laden, and not nearly as charming as Positano, so we were glad we hadn’t decided to stay there.
Amalfi’s duomo is a lovely 9th century church with a stunning 19th century facade. According to Wikipedia, the doors were cast in Constantinople before 1066, and signed by Simeon of Syria; they are the earliest in Italy of post-Roman manufacture.
The cloister surrounds a small formal garden and contains old sarcophagi and other bits and bobs.
