Lungomare di Salerno (Salerno Seafront), Salerno (must see)
Salerno's seafront stands as a testament to Italy's breathtaking coastal beauty, offering an unparalleled view of the stunning Amalfi Coast. Renowned as one of the country's most enchanting promenades, it provides a captivating backdrop for leisurely strolls amid lush green gardens and palm trees, all just a stone's throw away from the bustling city center.
This picturesque seafront plays a pivotal role as one of the three parallel axes that have defined the city's expansion. It seamlessly connects the two boundaries of the old city, extending from the commercial port to the railway station. Its construction, initiated in 1920, involved extensive beach transformation and development, primarily aimed at creating a protective barrier against the relentless erosive forces exerted by the waves.
As one meanders along the seafront, heading from the sandy shores of Saint Teresa towards Concordia Square, an impressive array of buildings comes into view. These architectural wonders include the Palace of the Province, the Chamber of Commerce, the Palace of Posts and Telecommunications, the Palace of Justice, and a collection of structures serving as offices and residences. The seafront extends for several kilometers, featuring both bathing establishments and free beaches for visitors to enjoy.
This vibrant esplanade is a hive of activity, with a plethora of bars and gathering spots, making it an ideal destination for relaxation and a gateway to exploring the historic and commercial heart of the city.
