The Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Amalfi Italy gets its name from the Apostle Saint Andrew whose relics reside here. Most of the relics were brought to Amalfi by Cardinal Peter of Capua in 1208 after the Siege of Constantinople. The relics of Saint Andrew are entombed in the cathedral’s crypt. The sarcophagus of Cardinal Peter of Capua serves as the main altar of the cathedral. Over the bronze doors at the entrance to the cathedral are representations of Saint Andrew and the Blessed Virgin.
