Mercato San Severino

Mercato San Severino is a municipality in the Province of Salerno in the Campania region. The town spreads across hilly terrain and is served by two railway stations along the Salerno-Mercato San Severino line.

The settlement grew from a Roman marketplace known as Forum Sancti Severini in ancient times. This past as a trading center shaped its identity through to its modern name.

The town honors its patron saint San Rocco with an annual celebration on August 16 that brings the whole community together. This festival shapes the rhythm of local life and shows how people here stay connected to their traditions.

The two railway stations offer good connections to Salerno and other nearby towns. This makes it easy for visitors to reach the area and explore the wider province.

The town sits on an elevated plateau with far-reaching views across the surrounding hills from various points. This geographical position makes it a natural vantage point for observing the landscape of southern Italy.
