Municipal Museum of Amalfi is the Town Hall not far from Corso Repubblica. Despite the fact that it occupies only one room, its exhibits are of great historical and cultural interest. The Museum preserves artifacts from the middle Ages – paintings, ancient coins, banners and apparel adorned with precious stones. Here you can also see priceless artifacts collected well-known merchant and adventurer Flavio Gioia.

Perhaps the main attraction of the Museum is the unique manuscript of "Tavola the cultural and historic value, which is the ancient Maritime laws and customs, common throughout the Mediterranean in the 13th to 16th centuries. This code regulates all aspects of Maritime trade – the installation price on boat rental, hiring teams, actions in case of shipwreck, etc. for Many years – almost five centuries - "Tavole the cultural and historic value" was in the Imperial library at Vienna, and only in the 19th century returned to Amalfi.

Another interesting exhibit is the ceramic blade, located on the outside wall of the building on the South side. It can be seen from the Corso delle Republica Marinara and Piazza del Municipio. It is the cloth with the image of scenes from the history of Amalfi in 1970, the year created by local artist Diodoro Koss. In particular, the canvas can be seen of the ancient Romans who settled in the small seaside village of Skala in the 4th century, the early years of Amalfi, the stage of rapid commercial and political life in the Middle ages. As shown here, the invention of the marine compass, the arrival of the relics of St. Andrew and other important historical events.
