Before introducing Ravello’s attractions and sites, it is good to give a brief introduction, which applies both to this small village and to the Amalfi Coast in general.

1) What to visit in one day in Ravello? VISIT THE CATHEDRAL

With this background, we begin the tour of the most interesting attractions, sights and experiences that Ravello has to offer to tourists. Starting with the Cathedral, dedicated to St Pantaleon, which is crucial. It represents one of the oldest cathedrals in Italy and its first building dates back to 1086. Over the years, it has undergone several additions and demolitions. Its modern configuration comes with the extraordinary Ambo of the Gospel, by Nicola di Bartolomeo de Foggia, inlaid in marble and facing another notable Ambo, always inlaid with marble, representing the story of the prophet Jonah. Inside the chapel of the 17th century, a vial of the blood of St Pantaleon is kept, which, like the church of St Januarius, in Naples, melts annually.

2) What to visit in one day in Ravello? VISIT VILLA RUFFOLO

Then, we move on to the real jewel of Ravello, Villa Ruffolo, a splendid village, exceptional in architectural and aesthetic terms, which helps to create timeless beauty and fascinates anyone who passes by. Boccaccio extolled it in his poems and Richard Wagner was inspired by it for the second act of ‘Parsifal’. Nowadays, on the magnificent terrace in his honor, the Ravello Festival is held annually in the summer, a classical music festival that welcomes musicians from all over the world. It can be accessed through a Gothic-style opening in the entrance tower.Decorated by strips of yellow and gray tufts, as well as figurines of human figures in the four corners, which represent the four seasons, the tower has always had a purely ornamental function. The flourishing garden of the village culminates in the spectacular ‘Terrace of the Infinite’, a suspended terrace 400 meters away that allows an incredible view.

One of the best spots on the entire coast. Going to the end of the promontory is the majestic Villa Cimbrone, another village that, since Roman times, is based on ancient bases of a patrician village, which has already received kings and illustrious names from science and politics.

Coral Museum

Today, the Villa is occupied by a five-star hotel, one of the most popular on the entire coast, however, the garden can still be visited by the public at all times of the year.

The museum is a testament to Ravello’s strategic importance during ages past . The museum is open every day, from 10 am to 1 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm, except on weekends.
