Photo 1 -2 The Lungomare Trieste in Salerno is one of the symbolic places of the city. A pedestrian promenade divided into several lanes and is over 2 km long, from the historic center to the tourist port of Piazza della Concordia.
Photo 3 - From the portal of the facade you enter a large atrium, the only Italian example, with that of the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, of a Romanesque Quadriportico. The Quadriportico (atrium) is surrounded by a colonnade (an ideal continuation of the internal naves on the outside) the columns are surmounted by decorated round arches. The loggia above has mullioned and five-lancet windows. The Bronze Door of the church, cast in Constantinople in 1099, also opens onto the atrium.
Photo 4 - Salerno has always had a port, the first news dates back to the 13th century, when Manfred of Sicily ordered its expansion. In the seventies the commercial port experienced great development. Outside the commercial area on the eastern part of the Port extends the Molo Manfredi with the maritime station designed by Zaha Hadid, testimony of contemporary architecture. The Port of Salerno is part of the cruise circuit of the most important and internationally renowned shipping companies.
