Ravello
Position
Between the roughness of its steep position and the sweetness of a landscape
full of colours, Ravello, by now universally know as the city of the music, is an
enchanting town of the Lattari Mountains, with a glowing nature, settled in a
suggestive position on a rocky spur which dominates from an height of 350
metres the blue sea of the Amalfi Coast.
It is one of the coast's most precious gems.
Ravello is also a perfect point to take excursions in the best places of the Amalfi
Coast.
Ravello's beauties...
The richness of its architectonic
treasures, its millenary history, a
natural scenery with not many equals in
the world and, finally, a pleasant
climate, made of Ravello the destination
of an elegant tourism searching for
education, silence and relax.
Ravello, facing the Amalfi Coast, but far away from the strenuous life of the
coast, between the roughness of its little mountain streets and the sweetness of
its works of art, between the melancholy ruins of its buildings and the joyous
beauty of its gardens, offers all of this.
The monuments...
Among its art treasures especially prominent
are the Cathedral, built in the 12th century,
Villa Rufolo, with its indescribable florid
terraces, whose origins go back to the 11th
century, Villa Cimbrone, famous for its exciting
Belvedere from which you can enjoy the best
landscape of the world.
Moresca Fountain square and the suggestive
interlacement of little streets complete the
sight.
Ravello Festival
Interesting is Ravello's music Festival, which puts in programme many tens of
spectacles which follow in the whole year.
Wagner's concerts are the most important ones, and are placed in the really
panoramics Villa Rufolo's gardens, exactly where the master acclimatized the
second act of his Parsifal.
