Salerno

Salerno is best known within Campania for the Schola Medica Salernitana, one of medieval Europe’s earliest medical institutions. Set on the Gulf of Salerno, along the Tyrrhenian Sea, the city combines a working port with a compact historic centre. Salerno Cathedral, begun in the 11th century during Norman rule, is distinguished by its Romanesque atrium and bronze doors. The Lungomare Trieste follows the bay, while the older quarters climb toward Arechi Castle above the city. Salerno also has ferry links across the gulf and is a useful starting point for the Amalfi Coast.
