Mecca for Italian genealogy with an amazing staff. I was there in June 2019, pre-COVID and had a memorable experience. Not to be missed if you are a genealogy and local history fan.

Hi, I'm Lucia Cataldo, certified Sightseeing and Tourist Guide. I've chosen this job because it allows me to put together my passion for Art and History. In 2011 I graduated in Story and Art Criticism at the University of Salerno. I speak Italian and Spanish.

Padula Charterhouse, in Italian Certosa di Padula (or Certosa di San Lorenzo di Padula), is a large Carthusian monastery, or charterhouse, located in the town of Padula, in the Cilento National Park (near Salerno) in Southern Italy. It is a World Heritage site.

Go with local guide Viviana Ricciardone if you can--she is deeply knowledgeable about this monastery. The Certosa is enormous, well-preserved, and, if you like history, art, architecture, and, if you have a family connection to the area like I do, a deep part of one's heritage. There is also an excellent book/gift shop, and the staff were all pleasant and accommodating. I am overdue to review--I was there in June 2019 and it was a very memorable day at the Certosa. If in Padula, it will be a major highlight of the visit.
