TOUR DESCRIPTION
The visit starts from the Lungomare Trieste, which offers a beautiful view on the Salerno Gulf and the Amalfi Coast. Passing over the Villa Comunale and the famous theater, Teatro Verdi, we will reach the church of St. Maria delle Grazie, a beautiful structure from ‘400 where you can admire the Madonna delle Grazie painted by C. Sacco and the pinacoteca museum.
We will arrive in the Historical Center, via dei Mercanti where we will see the Arechi Arch, which was part of a building of the VIII century and the St. Salvatore church with a Baroque altar.
Walking over the alleys we will encounter the Palazzo Fruscione, an Angevin building and the church of San Pietro a Corte, born as royal residence for Arechi II, who was a Longobard prince in 774.
Going to the Lungomare, on the seaside, we will see the Church of St. Giorgio, which is a Baroque church with interesting frescos and then the famous St. Matthew’s Dome considered a point of pride for the Salernitani.
We can visit the Museo Provinciale which houses archeological materials coming from the Agro Picentino and Salerno. Don’t miss the Castello Arechi, a castle built to honor The Arechi Prince on a precedent Byzantine fortification.
After some shopping we can drive along the Coast and reach the Amalfi Coast or on the other side the Nation Park of Cilento. Also the archeological site of Paestum is well worth a visit.
