Salerno

Salerno is an Italian municipality with 133,693 inhabitants, capital of the province of the same name in Campania, the second municipality in the region by number of inhabitants and the thirtieth at national level. The city of Salerno occupies a spectacular position overlooking the Gulf, where the splendid Amalfi Coast is located, a famous tourist destination in Italian Campania. It has a rich history and a deep-rooted tradition.

During the Middle Ages the city was the capital of the homonymous Lombard principality and then of the Norman duchy of Puglia and Calabria which included a large part of the continental South and was the original nucleus of the future Kingdom of Naples and the Two Sicilies.

Salerno was home to the School of Medicine, which was the first and most important medical institution in Europe at the beginning of the Middle Ages and as such is considered by many a forerunner of modern universities. Ideal heir to the famous medical school is the University of Salerno, located since 1988, in the form of a campus, in the neighboring municipalities of Fisciano and Baronissi.

From February to August 1944 Salerno was the seat of the Italian government,[10] hosting the governments Badoglio I, Badoglio II and Bonomi II which led to the Turn of Salerno.

Starting from the second half of the nineties, the city began a series of policies aimed at improving livability, urban decor and projecting, especially as regards tourism, Salerno at national and international level. The city is therefore a candidate to become one of the poles of cruise tourism and contemporary architecture, hosting works by the greatest architects of the 21st century, such as Fuksas, Zaha Hadid, Bohigas, Chipperfield, Calatrava and Bofill.

Giardini-Naxos

Giardini-Naxos (Giaddini or Giaddina in Sicilian) is an Italian municipality in the province of Messina in Sicily. Formerly called Nasso, it is 40 km from Messina and 39 km from Catania. In 1978, "Naxos" was added to the old name of the town ("Giardini").

Valletta

Malta is one the smallest States in the Mediterranean. Few European countries have such a concentration of history, architecture and, beautiful beaches in such a small area. Malta is one of the most concentrated areas of historical interest anywhere in the world, for this reason it was called La Valletta when Unesco awarded it the title of World Heritage Site. The city is therefore the ideal city for art lovers and it is renowned for its massive fortifications and architectural excellence.

One of the most concentrated areas of historical interest elements in the world, so La Valletta was described when Unesco awarded it the title of world heritage site, the city is therefore a guarantee for art lovers and certainly renowned for its massive fortifications and architectural excellence.

Korcula

The island of Korcula is known for its vineyards and berry fruits, but the most interesting part is certainly its city. Although less known than other municipalities in Dalmatia, it is certainly one of the most beautiful places in Croatia. Located on a peninsula, between stone buildings and defensive towers, Korcula has maintained its original appearance. The metropolis was created in a very ingenious way, the plan of its streets is arranged in a herringbone pattern, the spine is the main road that passes in front of the cathedral, then these lanes of the road meet the sea on both sides. Entering the oldest district, through a magnificent staircase, you will reach the great Revelin tower. Passing through the door, you arrive on the main road that leads to the Basilica of San Marco. You will notice on the facade the superb rose window carved with fantastic motifs, such as dragons and mermaids. The ball clock, with its colored shades, indicates the different phases of the moon. The city has many other monuments to visit. Most are located around Piazza San Marco, dominated by the cathedral of the same name. Korcula boasts of being the birthplace of the famous Marco Polo. Legend or reality? Hard to say. In any case, it is possible to visit his alleged home... Otherwise, you can admire the Church of All Saints of the XIV century, or the Church of San Michele of the XVIII century. Its beaches are considered the most beautiful in Croatia, but don't expect kilometers of sandy beaches, because they are small pebbles of secluded and rocky beaches, but still perfect for swimming or sunbathing in total relaxation.

Kotor

The Adriatic Sea penetrates the jagged coast of Montenegro and winds between high mountains until it meets the exquisite and walled medieval city of Kotor.
