Salerno, known in ancient times as Hippocratica Civitas, owes its prestige to the famous Salerno Medical School, which made it a beacon of medical excellence in the Middle Ages. The most brilliant minds of the time met here, blending Latin, Greek, Jewish, and Arab medical traditions in a unique mix of wisdom and progress. If Salerno's fame as the cradle of medicine is linked to the past, its cultural and historical legacy continues to surprise those who visit it.
Over 2,000 years of history await you as you stroll through the historic center: from ancient Roman ruins to evocative medieval architecture, to sumptuous eighteenth-century palaces. But Salerno has much more to offer. Lose yourself in its picturesque streets, discover small artisan workshops, and be captivated by Campania cuisine's authentic aromas and flavors.
Visit a city still little known by tourist circuits, but full of hidden treasures, ready to reveal its genuine and fascinating soul in the heart of the Amalfi Coast.
