Neighbourhood:

Salerno’s geographical position is very fortunate as it is located between the Amalfi Coast and the Cilentana Coast, 200 km of beautiful coastline that attracts crowds of tourists.
From the tourist harbour and the maritime station, located in the Manfredi pier, ferries leave for the Divine Coast and the easily accessible islands of Ischia and Capri.
The city is squeezed between the mountains and the sea and for this reason it develops in length close to the coast, a consequence of the city conformation is the presence of four promenades. The oldest and most famous of the four is the Trieste promenade, which serves the western part and the historical centre and where citizens and tourists meet to stroll and enjoy the view of the Gulf.
The city is also often referred to as Hippocratica civitas, a reference to its glorious Salerno medical school that made Salerno a centre of excellence in medicine in the Middle Ages where Latin, Greek, Jewish and Arab medical traditions met and studied and where women not only studied but also taught.
The Middle Ages was the city’s period of greatest splendour, where it played a leading role in the historical events of southern Italy and was a cultural beacon for the entire European continent.
The old town centre, which was skilfully restored after the damage caused by the 1980 earthquake, still retains its original structure with its narrow streets and openings that suddenly come into view and now house the many places where the nightlife and entertainment of the people of Salerno is concentrated.
The structure of the old town is determined by two natural elements, the sea and Mount Bonadies, whose slopes reach right up to the beach. The Arechi Castle is worth a visit, a grim fortress so impregnable that it has never been conquered and which, unlike other castles, has not been turned into a noble palace. From here you can have a complete view of the entire town of Salerno, the port and the Gulf.
Defence to the east was provided by the La Carnale fortress situated on a small rocky promontory, which owes its name to a glorious and sudden sortie by the people of Salerno against the Saracen vanguards who were setting up camp for the siege in 872. The slaughter of enemies left to rot was such that the place was called the Carnaio.
Places to visit include the Cathedral, built by the Norman prince Robert Guiscard and dedicated to the patron saint, St Matthew; the Provincial Museum, the Diocesan Museum, the Museum of the Salerno Medical School, the 16th-century Church of the Annunziata with a fine Baroque bell tower by Sanfelice; Piazza Flavio Gioia, known as the Rotonda because of its characteristic shape, over which the 18th-century Porta Nuova opens, leading into the old town; and the sumptuous and attractive Baroque churches scattered throughout the city.
