What people say

"The Duomo di Ravello was built in the 12th century and was originally a Benedictine abbey. It was later converted into a cathedral in the 13th century. The cathedral was damaged by an earthquake in 1653 and was rebuilt in the 18th century. The Duomo di Ravello is an example of Romanesque architecture with some Norman and Arabic influences. The façade is made of white marble and is decorated with three portals and a rose window. The interior of the cathedral is spacious and bright, and is decorated with frescoes, paintings, and sculptures. The main entrance to the cathedral is through a set of bronze doors that were made in 1179 by Barisano da Trani. The doors are decorated with scenes from the Bible and the life of Saint Pantaleon. The pulpit is a masterpiece of Romanesque sculpture. It is supported by six columns that are decorated with lions and griffins. The pulpit is also decorated with scenes from the Bible. "
"The magnificent Cathedral( also known as Duomo) of Ravello, which was constructed in the eleventh century, is well-known for its impressive architecture and exquisite artwork. A stunning bell tower with panoramic views of the town and the sea completes the exterior's striking fusion of Romanesque and Baroque styles. Beautiful mosaics, frescoes from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance adorn the interior, which is equally impressive. The cathedral's beautiful pulpit, which is embellished with intricate carvings and is regarded as one of southern Italys' finest examples of medieval art, is its crowning feature."

The Amalfi Coast isn't a coastline, it's a masterpiece sculpted by nature itself. Imagine a place where dramatic cliffs plunge into the sapphire waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Villages cling precariously to these cliffs, their colorful houses cascading down like vibrant jewels. The salty caress of the sea breeze mingles with the intoxicating aroma of lemon groves, creating a perfume that lingers in the air. Unlike the serene flatlands, the Amalfi Coast pulsates with an energy as vibrant as its colorful past. History whispers from every cobbled street and ancient monument. Yet, there's a sense of tranquility too, a chance to simply relax on pristine beaches or explore hidden coves by boat. The Amalfi Coast isn't just for the privileged few; it's a place where luxury meets authenticity, and every corner unveils a new adventure.
