The Museum of the Salerno Medical School

Located in the evocative complex of the ancient Monastery of San Benedetto, the Museum of the Salerno Medical School is a tribute to the millennia-old history of medicine.

Through interactive exhibitions and thematic routes, visitors can explore the history of medicine and discover the precious cultural heritage of the city of Salerno.
