Learn Italian in Salerno, a picturesque town and port in Italy's south-western Campania region and a popular tourist destination. The town and port are located on the Tyrrhenian Coast, with a population of approximately 150,000. Given Salerno’s beautiful seafront position, water sports are very popular in this area of Italy, especially sailing and windsurfing. There are also a number of beautiful diving spots with diverse flora and fauna. There are many tourist attractions and places of special interest, including Salerno Cathedral, which is dedicated to Saint Matthew and dates back to 1076 and has a striking bell tower which was completed in the mid-12th century with small arcades and mullioned windows. The church of St. George is the most notable of the Baroque churches, with high-quality frescoes by Angelo Solimena and Francesco. The church is related to one of the most ancient monastries of the city which dates back to the early ninth century. The church of St. Benedict was originally part of a monastry from 7th-9th centuries, connected to an aquaduct, of which remains are visible today. Following the Saracen destruction of 884, it was rebuilt by Abbot Angelarius with two aisles and a nave.
