The civil wedding ceremony in Amalfi could be performed in two locations: in the Town hall or in the Old Arsenal. The last one is very suggestive place. The imposing structure of stone and mortar, which has defied centuries; the light charm of the cross vault giving the right touch of elegance; the modular rhythm of solids and voids making sure that the fateful "YES" bouncing on the stones of the pillars and branches into a prolonged echo, which does not escape even more distracted ears – all these facts make the Old Arsenal of the Republic of Amalfi a unique place for your wedding.
