Certosa di Padula Tour

Meeting at a selected point, we will set off to Padula, home to the Certosa di San Lorenzo, a monastery declared a World Heritage Site in 1998. The tour includes an expert guide.

Upon arrival at the religious complex, known as the Padula Charterhouse, we will first view its Baroque façade, a predominant style despite its construction beginning in the 14th century.

The tour will take us into the monastic complex to explore its 350 rooms. Notably, this monastery features the Great Cloister from the late 18th century, covering 15,000 square meters.

During the guided tour of the Carthusian Monastery of Padula, we will discover chapels and the church with 16th and 18th-century frescoes, along with practical spaces such as laundries, cellars, and the kitchen. This atmosphere provides insight into the life of the Carthusian monks.

Finally, we will return to Pisciotta, accompanying you back to your hotel or meeting point after four hours of excursion.
