Church of Santa Maria de Lama
The Church of Santa Maria de Lama is one of the oldest churches in Salerno, probably built between the 10th and 11th centuries. The first church was Byzantine in its structure and was built on a pre-existing Roman building of the 2nd century. Damaged in the 13th century, the church was radically restored and decorated with frescoes. In the XVII century, the church was restored in Baroque style, which led to the loss of almost all the frescoes and mosaics. Thanks to restorations, frescoes from the 13th century, but also from the 10th and 11th century are now visible in the church.
