Via Nicola Salsano, 3, Cava de' Tirreni

The cluster lies in the Sarno valley at the foot of the Monti Lattari. The Sarno river system runs across this plain. The nearest coast is the Gulf of Salerno, with the built-up shore around Salerno and Vietri sul Mare nearby but outside the immediate inland setting. The Monti Lattari regional park is on the ridge to the south-west. Salerno is the nearest city of size, with rail links, port, motorway access, hospitals and the historic centre around the cathedral. The area is known for densely settled valley-floor towns, orchards and vegetable cultivation in the plain, and for the routes that climb from the valley toward the Amalfi side of the Lattari.
