By the urbanistic point of view, the city has three different complexes: the medieval one, the nineteenth century one and finally the modern one.

The most important monument in Salerno is The Cathedral, which dates back to Roberto il Guiscardo (1076).

Duomo - particolare

The monument underwent a reconstruction halfway through the '700 an restoration works in the first half of the '900. Remarkable are: the Lion's Door, the Lobby, The Bell Tower and the Interiors, which keeps works of great artistic and historical value.

Not far from the Cathedral lies its museum, with its four thematic halls. Not less important is The Provincial Museum, which keeps the testimonies followed one after the other during the centuries.

Have to be pointed out: The Medieval Aqueduct, Arechi's Castle, The Fort "La Carnale", S. Andrea's Church, the Roteprandi's Door, the Church of "Crocefisso", Pinto's Palace (the image in the photo), the Church of S. Giorgio and that of S. Maria delle Grazie.
