The Cilento region, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to the intricate tapestry of human history and natural beauty. It served as a crucial corridor for trade, cultural, and political exchanges from prehistoric times through the medieval period. The area is dotted with ancient Greek cities like Paestum and Velia, and the Certosa di Padula, a monumental Carthusian monastery, all of which stand as silent witnesses to the region's rich and layered past.
