Salerno

Italy · Campania

Salerno is a city and comune in Campania, southern Italy, and the capital of the province of the same name. With 125,958 inhabitants as of 2025, it is the second most populous municipality in the region after Naples. The city lies on the Gulf of Salerno, on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Salerno city’s origins are probably Magna Greece, though the dated archaeological evidence cited is a 6th-century BC Etruscan-Campanian necropolis; the clearer Magna Graecia link is nearby Poseidonia/Paestum.
