San Severino is an Italian village and hamlet ( frazione ) of the municipality of Centola [2] in the Province of Salerno, Campania. As of 2011 its population was of 435. [1]
Known until 1861 as San Severino di Camerota , the village was founded in the 10th-11th century. The original settlement, located upon a hill, was gradually abandoned during the end of the 19th century after the construction of a railway line. New houses were built in the valley, just below the hill but closer to the railway. [3] Nowadays the ancient village is a ghost town and a preserved heritage, because of the conservation status of its medieval structure. [4] [5]
