About the location

Cava de` Tirreni is an ancient and historic city, today inhabited by over 50,000 inhabitants distributed in the village and in more than twenty villages, which give Cava de` Tirreni the characteristic of a "star city".

Its first inhabitants, of the "terre de la Cava", were the Tyrrhenians, a nomadic Etruscan tribe, whose presence is documented by archaeological finds kept in the Museum of the Benedictine Abbey and in the civic Antiquarium.

In Roman times it was a renowned holiday destination chosen by the nobility of Rome.

Remains of temples and villas from the Roman era, probably belonging to the Gens Mitilia, were found in the ancient villages of Vetranto and S. Cesareo. Other remains from the Roman era were found in various areas of the territory, especially in the northern area, on the border of the Roman settlement of Nuceria Alfaterna.

It was inhabited by the Lombards, whose civilization is still evidenced by a series of ancient towers built for the Game of Pigeons and by many toponyms, dating back to the three centuries of Lombard domination (9th-11th centuries).
