Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park with the Archeological Sites of Paestum and Velia, and the Certosa di Padula
Cilento is an outstanding cultural landscape. The striking cluster of temples and settlements along three east-west ridges vividly depicts the historical evolution of the region: it was a major route not only for trade but also for cultural and political interaction in prehistory and the Middle Ages. Cilento was also the border between the Greek colony of Magna Graecia and the indigenous Etruscans and Lucanians. There are remains of two major cities from the Classical period: Paestum and Velia.
