Things to do in Salerno
Established in Etruscan times, Salerno gained importance in Roman ages and later became a center of culture and trade under the Norman domination, thanks to the famous School of Medicine, which attracted patients, students and professors from all over Europe.The city is located on the gulf of the Tyrrhenian Sea and in its historic center you’ll find churches of great architectural and artistic value, like the Salerno Cathedral, the Church of San Pietro a Corte and Sant'Andrea de Lavina. Among the civic monuments stand the imposing medieval buildings, while among those there are also ancient military structures like Arechi's Castle, a fortification dating back to the Byzantine era, today home to the castle museum museum, and the Forte La Carnale, a tower of the XVI century.For the chance to appreciate nature, it is really worth taking a walk on the beautiful Trieste Seafront and Minerva's Garden, the largest botanical garden in Europe.
