Padula

Tucked into the Vallo di Diano of southern Campania, Padula is a place whose character is shaped by the broad valley floor and the enclosing Apennine slopes. The town is inseparable from the Certosa di San Lorenzo, a vast Carthusian monastery founded in 1306 and part of the UNESCO-listed Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park site. Its ordered courtyards, grand cloister and church preserve the imprint of centuries of monastic life, while the valley gives Padula a distinctly inland Campanian identity. It is a rewarding stop for travellers exploring the park’s cultural as well as rural dimension. Browse additional webcams from the Vallo di Diano to extend your view of southern Campania.
