The complex where Arechi II's palace stood, above Roman baths, in the centre of Salerno.

San Pietro a Corte tells fifteen centuries of Salerno's history. The oldest core is a Roman bath complex from the 1st–2nd century, now about five metres below street level.After 774 the Lombard prince Arechi II built his palace here. Its palatine chapel of Saints Peter and Paul survives, the only example of Lombard palace architecture, with fragments of medieval mosaics and frescoes.
