Historic Religious Sites
Ravello’s religious landscape is defined by its 11th-century Duomo, famous for its bronze doors and marble pulpits, and the iconic twin-domed Annunziata. This collection spans Romanesque cathedrals, Franciscan monasteries, and cliffside shrines like the Grotta di Sant’Alfonso. These sites showcase the artistic evolution of the Amalfi Coast, featuring Byzantine mosaics, medieval cloisters, and Baroque altars, often positioned along ancient pedestrian paths with views over the Gulf of Salerno.
