San Lucido has a particular name that arouses curiosity. In fact, its visitors often wonder why it is called that. The hypotheses about it are different, but two are the most accredited: here probably lived a monk named Lucido, coming from Aquara, a village in the province of Salerno. Another explanation is given by its special position which makes it illuminated by the sun from every angle you observe it.

The heart of San Lucido has all to be explored. In the historic center it seems that time has stopped: paved streets, ancient buildings, fountains, stairways and galleries make the ancient urban agglomeration a city within the city.
