Tour of Salerno

Overview of your Salerno tour:

Join us on a walking tour in the historical center of Salerno.

Salerno is a characteristic sea town located between the paradise of Amalfi Coast and the charming Cilento.

 

As a your personal archaeologist and art historian tour guides we will be happy to share with you our knowledge in an easy and funny way.

Salernum was founded by the Romans in the 2nd century B.C. but the most important period for the city was in the middle ages. After the destruction of the Roman Empire in Italy the Lombards created a dukedom in Campania and Salerno became its capital. In this time Salerno was one of the most important cities of the Mediterranean
sea.

 

Here was founded the first Medical School around the end of the 9th century A.D. We'll go to discover the history and the architecture of the medieval time with a visit into the Cathedral of Saint Matthew, a spectacular example of Arab-Norman architecture. This church also contains a beautiful crypt in Baroque style.
