Here we have a medieval castle around 300 metres up, reached from Salerno by a steep path through the pine forest that can be quite demanding. The view from the castle rewards the effort. The castle dates to the late 11th century, and its watchtower once monitored the entire Gulf of Salerno and signalled enemy movements. It was restored in 2001 and opened to the public. Monte San Liberatore, at 466 metres, offers views over the Gulf of Salerno and the Amalfi Coast, and its summit hermitage is a church documented as early as 980. A small cliff along the path suits climbers.
