Salerno

Salerno is a busy port in southern Italy. At one time it was famous for its medical school but is now visited mostly for the Duomo which was constructed in the 11^th century. The atrium is the best feature as its columns originally came from the ancient Greek site of Paestum a short drive away. Local Roman archaeological finds can be seen in the Museo Provinciale. The food in Southern Italy reflects the Mediterranean climate and there are a number of good local restaurants in town and places to stay. This is a great place to sit in a small café and watch the world go by and to taste some of the delicious local seafood. Nearby, the Cilento is a mountainous region south of Salerno with a quiet coastline including the small resort of Agropoli.
