Cava de' Tirreni

Cava de’ Tirreni straddles a valley beneath the Lattari Mountains in Campania, and its position between the uplands and the Tyrrhenian coast has long connected it with Salerno and the surrounding interior. The town is distinguished by Borgo Scacciaventi, a historic centre of extended arcaded streets where shops and cafés occupy buildings beneath the porticoes. Above the town is the Benedictine Abbey of the Holy Trinity, founded in 1011; its library and archives reflect the monastery’s lasting scholarly role. Cava de’ Tirreni reveals the transition from Campania’s mountain country to its coast. Explore more webcams throughout Campania to place Cava de’ Tirreni in its wider mountain-and-coast context.
