A detour can be made off the A3 motorway in southern Campania. Just outside Padula (699m/2,307ft; pop. 6,000) stands the Certosa di San Lorenzo, founded in 1308, a massive building dating mostly from the 17th and 18th century, with three beautifully arcaded courtyards and a large external staircase by Vanvitelli.
