A Timeless Gem on the Amalfi Coast
Exploring Ravello’s Historical Depth
Ravello, perched 350 metres above sea level, is a town with a rich history dating back to the 5th century. Originally a refuge from barbarian invasions, it became a significant centre for trade and wool production during the height of the Amalfi Republic in the 11th century. The town is also famed for its cultural heritage, particularly as a haven for artists and musicians, earning the title “City of Music.” Notable landmarks include Villa Rufolo, with its stunning gardens that inspired Richard Wagner, and Villa Cimbrone, home to the famous Terrace of Infinity.
Seeing Ravello as a Trekker
Trekkers visiting Ravello can explore cobblestone streets, medieval architecture, and the 11th-century cathedral in the town centre. The views over the Mediterranean from the town’s elevated position provide a natural highlight. Ravello also offers opportunities to enjoy local cuisine at traditional cafés while observing the vibrant cultural atmosphere of this historic settlement.
Unforgettable Views and More
Ravello combines historical and cultural attractions with breathtaking scenery. Its position above the Amalfi Coast makes it a key point of interest on any trek. The nearby Jet2 flights to Salerno from the UK, starting in May 2025, make accessing the area even easier for trekkers seeking adventure and heritage.
