Ravello is located through a narrow scenic road from the coast that climbs towards the mountains. Its dominant position gives the tourist a charming view of the entire Amalfi Coast, which makes this place unique. Richard Wagner fell in love with the panorama from the terrace on the Amalfi Coast,  and took inspiration for the Parsifal and in  honour of him each year hosts an international music festival. The suggestive quiet of Ravello was well appreciated by poets and writers.
The richness of art in Ravello is preserved in numerous religious monuments, including the Cathedral of St. Pantaleone, the  patron saint of the city, that strikes for its rich marbles; then its adjacent bell tower  high 35 metres, the Church of the Santissima Annunziata, the Church of St. Francesco, the Church of St.Chiara, the Church of St. Martino, the Church St.Angelo and the Church of St. Giovanni del Toro.
