Villa Rufolo is a 13th-century estate in the heart of Ravello, celebrated for its layered gardens cascading toward the sea. Wagner visited in 1880 and declared the gardens to be Klingsor's magic garden from Parsifal.
Built by the wealthy Rufolo banking family in the mid-13th century, the villa was restored by the Scottish industrialist Francis Neville Reid in the 1850s.
