Salerno is a city in the Italian region of Campania, on the Amalfi Coast. Salerno enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate and is one of the sunniest cities in Italy.

Salerno has many sights and attractions to keep visitors entertained. The city is dominated by the Castello di Arechi and its magnificent Giardino della Minerva. The old town is also worth a visit. It has become one of the best-preserved historic city centres and is full of narrow streets and hidden passages.
Salerno is known for its historic and majestic churches; you will find many examples of fine architecture and art in the churches of Salerno. Salerno Cathedral dominates the city and is a popular tourist attraction. Located in Salerno's old town, the cathedral has a bell tower and is the resting place of St. Matthew the Evangelist. Another church to visit is the Chiesa di San Giorgio, a beautiful Baroque church with many famous paintings and frescoes.

About Palermo
Palermo is the regional capital of Sicily; its ferry port is on the northwest coast of the island. In the Middle Ages, Palermo was one of the premier cities in Europe, but today it is still recovering from its twentieth-century ruin. With its reputation as a hotbed of both petty and organised crime, Palermo's attractions are often overlooked. There is some beautiful architecture to be found here, and the city has good museums, churches, markets, and restaurants that are well worth a visit.
Palermo's historic centre, Quattro Canti, in the form of a large octagonal square, is the main attraction in the city's old quarter. Many churches, structures, monuments, and other historical sites of interest are located in or near Palermo's Quattro Canti.
