The lungomare of Salerno is one of the most beautiful and evocative in Italy. It offers a magnificent view of the Amalfi Coast but it is, above all, the most attractive setting for strolling, amidst the green gardens and palm trees, just a few meters from the city center.
The waterfront represents one of the three parallel axes, along which the expansion of the city has developed. In fact, together with Via Roma-Corso Garibaldi and Via dei Mercanti-Corso Vittorio Emanuele, it unites the two edges of the old city, from the commercial port to the railway station.
The waterfront is one of the three parallel axes along which the city’s expansion has developed.
His construction, and that of the buildings facing it, and which still constitute the city’s most representative building curtain, was initiated in 1920, following works of transformation and arrangement of the beach, in order to create a defense against the continuous erosive action exerted by the waves.
Between the buildings facing the waterfront, walking from the beach S. Teresa in the direction of Concordia Square, one encounters the Provincial Palace, the Chamber of Commerce, the Postal and Telecommunications Building, the Justice Palace and a series of office and residential buildings.
The waterfront continues for miles, much of it walkable with bathing establishments and free beaches.
The waterfront is always a busy place and rich in bars and hangouts, it is ideal for relaxing but also for beginning a more in-depth tour of the city’s historic and commercial center.
