Revello can be described as a mountain city. It is situated precisely about 5 kilometers away from Almafi Coast in the mountain. The town is small with approximately 2500 inhabitants only. And yes, it’s famous among the tourists worldwide. The town practically doesn’t have much of history to be talked about. This place happened to gain its importance between 839 and 1200 when it was occupied with traders from all over the world. Another notable feature of the town was it used to be a diocesan town. This was back in between 1086 to 1603. After the said time period it was shifted to the town of Scala.
Churches are the main attraction of the place. There is a church that was erected in remembrance to San Pantaleone. This was constructed in the 11th century on the advice of Bishop Orso Pavico. Tourists who had already made round of Almafi may know the similarity of the entrance doors. It is exactly similar to the church in Almafi, but only that it is made of bronze. Another church worth mentioning is the church of S.Giovanni del Torro. This was constructed in the 10th century. There is also a museum nearby which preserves the old age traditions of Ravello. Art is also given a front seat in many of the monuments found in here. Niccolò di Bartolomeo had created one using marble that is world famous.
