Salerno is located in southern Italy, with the Mediterranean Sea as its backdrop. Nestled between the seaside towns of Amalfi and Paestum, Salerno has been an important port of commerce for centuries, with a long and colorful history that dates back over 2,000 years. The historic city center boasts Roman, Norman, and Medieval architecture in its abbey, citadel, basilicas, palaces, and churches. Salerno was home to the first medical school in the world and it is here that 8th-century historian and physician, Areteus of Cappadocia, recorded his famous medical text, De Materia Medica. The town’s main square, Piazza della Liberta, is home to the 9th-century Duomo di Salerno, a Byzantine mosaic of Christ Pantokrator, and numerous shops and restaurants. Stroll the charming old town with its winding cobblestone streets and waterfront promenade, explore the stunning gardens of Villa Comunale, and enjoy the many local monuments. Salerno is also an excellent base for exploring nearby hilltop villages and ancient archaeological sites. Photography buffs will find plenty of photogenic backdrops such as the harbor, Castello di Arechi, and the crystal clear waters of Cetara.
