Considered by many to be the most beautiful promenade in Italy and one of the longest, the Salerno promenade offers a magnificent view of the Gulf of Salerno and the Amalfi Coast. It's an ideal spot for leisurely walks, surrounded by lush gardens and the soothing sounds of the sea.

The construction of the Salerno promenade began in 1920 as part of an urban planning initiative to transform the waterfront. During the 1920s, in addition to the promenade, most of the buildings that now overlook it were constructed, including the Provincial Palace, the Chamber of Commerce, the Post and Telecommunications Palace, and the Palace of Justice. The first section of the promenade extended to the current Provincial Palace and was later extended in 1944 using volcanic ash mixed with rubble from the eruption of Vesuvius and aerial bombings.
Subsequently, under Mayor Alfonso Menna, the promenade was completed during the 1950s up to the current Piazza della Concordia, along with the construction of the "Masuccio Salernitano" tourist port.
During the 1950s, the Salerno promenade was deemed the most beautiful promenade in the Mediterranean.
The last significant renovation of the Salerno promenade, which included three large parallel avenues separated by vast palm-planted flowerbeds, took place in the 1990s at the request of Mayor Vincenzo Giordano.
