Palazzo Barracano
- Visit: about 50 min
An elegant Neo-Renaissance palace from the 1910s, the first major building on the new Corso Vittorio Emanuele.
Strolling along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, it is worth stopping in front of Palazzo Barracano. It was the first important building on the city's new thoroughfare, created between the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th. We like it because it tells the story of modern Salerno, the city that looked to port trade and economic growth after Italian Unification.It was commissioned by Luigi Vincenzo Francesco Barracano, who took the family from small trade to major international commerce with the East, as a tangible sign of this rise. Built in the early 1910s, the palace wears an elegant Neo-Renaissance dress. We recommend taking time to look at its façade, which can be admired from the street.
