Cathedral of Salerno

The cathedral of Salerno was built in Romanesque style between 1080 and 1085, and then modified several times. The façade and the bell tower, redesigned in Baroque style, were restored to their original appearance in the 1950s and are now of great historical and artistic value. They are an important testimony to the Byzantine-Norman fusion of the period.

The church was founded in the Lombard period, in the 8th century, and has four main stratifications: the Roman thermal building, the early Christian church, the chapel of the Lombard palace and finally the medieval public palace.

Church of Sant'Agostino

The Church of Sant'Agostino is a reconstruction, at the beginning of the 19th century, of the Convent of Sant'Agostino, founded in 1309. Inside there is the Virgin of Constantinople, now at the altar, but originally displayed in a chapel in the convent courtyard. She was found in 1453 on the beach in front of the convent and is thought to have come from Constantinople, hence the name. From the beginning, it received great popular devotion, still alive today, by virtue of the miraculous powers attributed to it.
