The Certosa di Padula, or San Lorenzo, is a charterhouse located in Padula, in the Vallo di Diano, in the province of Salerno.
It is the first charterhouse to be built in Campania, anticipating that of San Martino in Naples and San Giacomo in Capri.
Occupying an area of 51,500 m², counting on three cloisters, a garden, a courtyard and a church, it is one of the most sumptuous Baroque monumental complexes in southern Italy as well as the largest charterhouse nationally and among the largest in Europe.
Since 1957 it has housed the provincial archaeological museum of western Lucania and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998 together with the nearby archaeological sites of Velia, Paestum, Vallo di Diano and the Cilento national park.
Since December 2014 it is part of the assets managed by the Campania museum complex.
