Villa Rufolo, 13th-century villa in Ravello, Italy
The Villa Rufolo features two towers, including Torre Maggiore, and overlooks the Amalfi Coast from terraced gardens near Ravello Cathedral.
The medieval villa, constructed for the wealthy Rufolo merchant family, underwent extensive renovations by Scottish botanist Francis Neville Reid in the nineteenth century.
Richard Wagner composed portions of his opera Parsifal at Villa Rufolo in 1880, leading to annual summer concerts in the gardens.
The villa museum maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year and includes accessibility features for visitors with mobility requirements.
The garden terraces display Mediterranean flowers against a backdrop of the Gulf of Salerno, incorporating Moorish architectural elements in their design.
