Acerra, Administrative commune in Campania, Italy
Acerra extends across fertile plains northeast of Naples at 26 meters elevation, with numerous agricultural fields surrounding its urban center.
The settlement originated from the Osci people as Akeru, gained Roman citizenship in 332 BC, and maintained loyalty during the Second Punic War.
The Cathedral, constructed over an ancient temple site, stands as a principal religious center with regular ceremonies following Neapolitan Catholic traditions.
The commune connects to Naples through regular bus and train services, offering convenient access to Mount Vesuvius and the archaeological sites of Pompeii.
Local farmers maintain extensive vegetable cultivation in the surrounding Agro Acerrano plain, contributing to regional agricultural production.
