| As we see in the 4th
novella in the 2 nd day of the Decameron, the scenary and the
monuments of Ravello, which was founded by a roman colony in the
6th century A.D. were already famous centuries ago. Perched on a
350 ft high cliff overlooking the blue sea of the Amalfi Coast, it
has conserved its historical monuments through the ages in a
natural setting which has few equals in the world.One of the most
important monuments is the Cathedral, founded in 1086, where one
can admire the Ambo and the Pulpit decorated with Byzantine
masaics, relics as the bust of Sigilgaita Rufolo, the splendid
bronze doors by Barisano da Trani and the museum situated in the
crypt.
