Certosa of Saint Lawrence

Carthusian monasteries are of interest to me (due to my job) so obviously I enjoyed the visit but my family loved it too. It's a well preserved example even though the monks are no longer there.

It is a shame such a beautiful place is so badly connected to anywhere. We drove all the way here on our road trip, it’s definitely worth a visit if you are around but too much hassle if not.

This gem was a great experience, I wish we had more time to visit everything. It deserves s visit even if short on time but plan at least 2 or 3 hours for a more relaxed experience.

Lovely day out in stunning medieval Italian abbey in the countryside. Easy to reach from motorway just 1h south of Salerno. Lots of space to run around for children. Complete of its own little archeological museum with lovely greek and italic artefacts from the region. Trattoria degli ulivi nearby offers a lovely and cheap meal after all the walking around

A beautiful place that we visited in about two hours! All spectacular from the quiet cloister, the library with the floor covered with Vietri sul Mare ceramic tiles, the church decorated with precious marble, the large kitchen, the spiral staircase, the Sala delle Campane, of the Chapter and the Treasury, the various Chapels, the largest Cloister in the world with the Carthusian Cells really a marvel !!! Despite its majesty and beauty, the place has lost that mystical and sacred dimension typical of religious places. There is a large outdoor parking cost € 3.00. In the courtyard you can admire the beautiful seventeenth-century façade in Baroque style where there is the ticket office together with the bookshop point, which is usually located at the end of the route. We wanted to buy a little book but finished in Italian language! Besides the fact that it is a unique place and therefore absolutely to visit but it could really does much more!

Great old monastery, very big territory, well preserved.

It didn't appear in our tourist guide and we ended up there by chance but it was one of my favourite sights of the trip. Architecturally it is gorgeous and the admission ticket was really cheap. I would totally recommend it!

Beautiful and quiet and expansive place with grand decoration in so many rooms.

Huuuuge! Old and very big. You can see frescos even in the exterior gates.

Full of history, lovely to see how the monks lived.

Visited this splendid monastery one evening in November 2005, following an arduous day walk in the Cilento National Park. Sadly, I was too tired to appreciate the architecture and beauty of the edifice in the twilight....must go back!

More people should visit this place, it is magnificent and full of history! Make sure to find a guide who can tell you all its secrets.

An hidden gem! Should really be more sponsored out to visitors!

This place represents one of the most important Places in Salerno. It's a must visit
