..In this page, our suggestion for an excursion: Ravello, Amalfi Coast.

Ravello is situated about 5 km from Amalfi; up on the mountain, overlooking the coast from Maiori to Amalfi. Ravello was founded in the VI century A.D., reaching the apex of the splendor in the X and XI century; following the same sort of the Amalfi Republic, even after obtaining the independence from her, when they refused to follow, in the XI century, Amalfi in a war against Guiscardo.  The Church dedicated to San Pantaleone was erected in the XI century, wanted by the Bishop Orso Pavico.  The entrance doors are similar to those of Amalfi, in bronze,  made in Constantinople in the XII century; inside  there is a museum, where are kept  numerous historic details of the past. To remember  the marble creation of Niccolò di Bartolomeo  from Foggia  of the XIII century and the XII century representation, with mosaic decoration, of Giona eaten by  Pistrice; The Church of S. Giovanni del Toro, was built at the end of X century; we can see an "ambone" from XII century and a wooden Crucifix from XV secolo. The Villa Rufolo, from XII century, erected by the Rufolo's  family and the Villa Cimbrone, are two site not to be missed for their splendor and their internal decoration. Both this Villa's have an amazingly beautiful garden that if possible enhances the Villa's even more.  From Villa Cimbrone,  you can admire one of the most divine panoramic view of Italy, along all the Amalfi Coast, and on some days, up to the Coast Cilentana. Not to forget is the annual musical event at the Villa Rufolo with concert of classical music. Amazing view on the Amalfi Coast line.
