The Amalfi Coast
Ravello is considered the jewel of the Amalfi Coast. Its position at 365mt above sea level allows it to preserve a quite atmosphere. The charm of the landscape, the value of the monuments and the gardens captured and seduced many European artists who came here looking for inspiration.
Cathedral and Museum
The Cathedral of Ravello, overlooking the main square Piazza Vescovado, is dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. The chapel, inside the Basilica, preserves the blood relic of Saint Pantaleone, the Patron Saint of Ravello. On July 27th it is possible to observe the liquefaction of his blood.
Villa Rufolo
The beautiful Villa Rufolo enchants visitors with its flower gardens and its magnificent architecture.
It is the place that inspired the famous German composer Richard Wagner. In his Parsifal he, admiring the charming gardens, exclaimed:
“The magic garden of Klingsor has been found here”
Villa Cimbrone
The huge gardens and the amazing view overlooking the sea and the Amalfi Coast make Villa Cimbrone completely unique in the world.
“I was asked by an American magazine what was the most beautiful place that I had ever seen in all my travels and I said the view from the belvedere of the Villa Cimbrone on a bright winter’s day, when the sky and the sea are so vividly blue that it is not possible to distinguish the one from the other.”
Belvedere Principessa di Piemonte
The romantic garden is located in one of the most characteristic streets of Ravello, the one that from Piazza Vescovado leads to San Giovanni del Toro. It is the place where couples from all over the world come to vow their love.
