Cruises to Salerno, Italy
Port description
Salerno is a city in Campania, in south-western Italy, and is the capital of the province of the same name. It is located on the Gulf of Salerno on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Salerno is the main town close to the Amalfi Coast on the Tyrrhenian, which includes the beautiful towns of Amalfi, Positano, and others, and is mostly known for its Schola Medica Salernitana (the first University of Medicine in the world). In the 16th century, under the Sanseverino family, amongst the most powerful feudal lords in Southern Italy, the city became a great centre of learning, culture and the arts, and the family hired several of the greatest intellectuals of the time. Today you’ll find an attractive coastal Italian city, with its own fascinating cultural sites, restaurants, cafes and beaches.
