La certosa di Padula, si tratta della prima certosa ad esser sorta in Campania, anticipando quella di San Martino a Napoli e di San Giacomo a Capri.
Contando su tre chiostri, un giardino, un cortile ed una chiesa, è difatto uno dei più sontuosi complessi monumentali barocchi del sud Italia, nonché la più grande certosa a livello nazionale e tra le maggiori d'Europa. Fu dichiarata nel 1998 patrimonio dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO assieme ai vicini siti archeologici di Velia, Paestum, al Vallo di Diano e al parco nazionale del Cilento.
