Housed in a former seminary near the cathedral, it displays a rich collection of religious art and artifacts, with a strong focus on the medieval period. Its holdings provide a fascinating insight into the spiritual and artistic heritage of the city and surrounding region.
From the early 18th century, it is commonly called "the most beautiful baroque church" in the city. It houses the relics of the holy Salerno martyrs Santa Tecla, Archelaa and Susanna and has paintings by Andrea Sabatini.
Duomo
Imposing church built in the 11th century with a mixture of Romanesque, Norman, Arab and Byzantine architectural elements.
It was built by the Lombards in the 9th century to supply the monastery of San Benedetto and, via an underground passage, the convent of Piantanova. It consists of two branches, one coming from the north and one from the east, which join in via Arce and continue south towards the monastery.
