Camerota is a town and comune in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of south-western Italy.
History
[edit | edit source]Its toponym could come from the Greek word "καμαρὸτος" (kamaròtos), meaning curved; or from the Latin word "camurus", with the same meaning.[2]
Geography
[edit | edit source]Camerota is a hill town situated in the southern area of Cilento, 6km north of the Cilentan Coast. The municipality borders with Celle di Bulgheria, Centola, Roccagloriosa and San Giovanni a Piro.[3]
The area is notable for the prehistoric caves of Marina di Camerota, which contain evidence of Neanderthal and early modern human occupation from the Late Middle Paleolithic to the Chalcolithic period.
