The Chiostro del Paradiso is a serene 13th-century cloister adjoining Amalfi Cathedral, built as a cemetery for prominent citizens. Its distinctive interlaced double arches and slender white columns create a distinctly Moorish atmosphere unique in southern Italy.
Commissioned in 1266 by Archbishop Filippo Augustariccio, the cloister was designed to serve as a noble burial ground. Its Arabian-influenced design reflects Amalfi's long trading ties with the Islamic world.
