Amalfi's Civic Museum is located on the first floor of the Municipal Palace of the ancient Maritime Republic. Here it is possible to admire gonfalons, historical relics, vestments and ancient costumes, used during the historical regattas, in addition to some works by Domenico Morelli.
Particularly interesting is the XV century wording of the "Tabula Amalphitana", a precious maritime code dating back to the famous Maritime Republic. Made up by 66 chapters, of which 21 in Latin, the "Tabula" contains the laws concerning all the aspects of the navigation, from the freight to the payouts, to the duties and rights of the sailors. The museum also contains ancient nautical instruments and other objects of the medieval navy, found in the shipwrecks together with a celestial sphere of the XVII century.
