Teggiano has better preserved its ancient appearance of a stronghold and it is with this aspect that it presents itself to those who reach its historic center. The medieval architecture of the noble palaces and churches has remained intact over the centuries, giving the entire village the appearance of a medieval village. We will continue to Sassano. Ideal in spring to visit the Valley of Orchids in the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park, a popular destination for botany enthusiasts. There are about 180 species of wild and spontaneous orchids. The itinerary, to be planned separately, includes the departure from the fountain with three stone masks in the historic center of Sassano. It starts at 501m and ends at 1175m, passing 5 orchid observation stations.

The stage ends at the Certosa di San Lorenzo di Padula. The image of St. Lawrence martyr to whom the Charterhouse is dedicated is depicted on the ebony entrance door. It is one of the largest in the world and one of the most important from an artistic and architectural point of view. 52 thousand square meters, 320 rooms, 1100 between doors and windows, over 13 courtyards The numbers do not make it beautiful.
