Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Parks guards exceptional evidence of the history and civilisation of the ancient Mediterranean populations. The result of mankind’s interaction with its natural environment, this landscape offers an extraordinary synthesis of Historical, economical, social, artistic, cultural, and spiritual events. From the mountains to the sea, the land conserves significant traditional characteristics that can be traced to the layout of the land, the network of routes, the system of settlements, and the structure of the cultivations. Together with the archaeological area of Paestum, the important site of Velia is an eminent example of the first Greek colonization in Italy and is a wonderful testimony of the encounter between Magna Grecia and Appennine and Mediterranean cultures. Dating to Medieval times, on the other hand, we have the imposing complex of the Certosa di Padula, one the most magnificent monuments found in southern Italy.
