The second largest park in Italy...
The Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park, the second largest park in Italy, extends from the Tyrrhenian coast to the foot of the Campania-Lucan Apennines.
Includes 80 municipalities: the largest, Capaccio-Paestum, with over 22 thousand inhabitants; the smallest, Valle dell'Angelo, with 264.
With 181 thousand hectares on land and 9 thousand at sea, after establishing the Marine Protected Areas of "Santa Maria di Castellabate" and " Costa Degli Infreschi e Della Masseta,” the Park is the largest protected area in Italy.
Since 1998 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site (with the archaeological sites of Paestum, Velia, and the Certosa di Padula).
