Clear sea, in the summer you can go there for a nice swim. I was there at the end of January returning from a circular excursion Vietri - Raito - Albori - Cetara and then stopping at the Albori marina.

The Fish Fountain is a monument attributed to Luigi Vanvitelli and located in the Sedile del Campo square in the historic center of Salerno. One of the best-known monuments in the historic center of Salerno is the fountain in Largo Campo, of which there is some fragmentary historical information. The existence of a fountain in Largo Campo does not necessarily have to be identified with the current one. The first mention of its existence, in fact, is found in a document of the Church of Sant'Andrea de Lavina of 1639. In 1692 it is remembered by Pietro del Pezzo on the route of the first procession of the silver statue of Saint Matthew. According to these sources it should be dated at least to the early seventeenth century, however the set of elements that make it up today show a greater constructive articulation.

The Via dei Mercanti of Salerno is an ancient road that crosses the entire historic center of Salerno, representing the main communication and trade route since the Middle Ages. Around the year 1000, the Via dei Mercanti was called Drapparia, because it had shops of "drapes" (traded fabrics) of the Lombard principality of Salerno.

The church of the Santissimo Crocifisso is a Catholic place of worship in Salerno, located on via dei Mercanti, the main commercial street in the historic center of the city. The church dates back to before the thirteenth century and was originally called the "church of Santa Maria della Pietà di Portanova". It was annexed to the contiguous and homonymous monastery, not very far from the Cathedral; it was then associated with the more powerful monastery of San Benedetto. It owes its name to the fact that there was a venerated cross on a panel, painted in the thirteenth century, now kept in the diocesan museum. The church overlooks a small square, obtained from the demolition of dilapidated buildings in 1928, the year in which the Baroque-style facade was also built. Following the flood of 1956, the current facade was built.
