The Castello di Arechi, perched 263 metres above Salerno, was built in the 8th century by the Lombard duke Arechis II. It offers one of the finest views over the Gulf of Salerno and the Amalfi Coast.

The Lungomare Trieste, 2 kilometres long between Piazza della Concordia and Piazza della Libertà, is one of southern Italy's most beautiful seafronts. Lined with palm trees and Mediterranean sunbathing terraces, it offers an ideal promenade at dusk and hosts every winter the Luci d'Artista festival that illuminates the city.

Salerno Cathedral, built between 1080 and 1085 under Robert Guiscard's impulse and consecrated by Pope Gregory VII, is one of the most important examples of Romano-Byzantine architecture in southern Italy. Its crypt houses the relics of Saint Matthew the Evangelist, making Salerno a major medieval pilgrimage site.

The sky of Salerno
