Teggiano (formerly called Diano) is a town and commune in Campania, Italy, in the province of Salerno. It is situated on an isolated eminence above the upper part of the valley to which it gives the name of Val di Diano.

History

Named after the Greek city Tegea in the Peloponnese

The ancient "Tegianum " was a municipal town of Lucania, made into a colony by Emperor Nero.

In 1497, under Antonio Sanseverino of Salerno, the city resisted the siege undertaken by Frederick IV of Naples.

Main sights

Ruins of the ancient city can be traced at the foot of the hill; a Roman bridge is also present.

Other landmarks include the Sanseverino Castle, several churches of some interest, and three conventual buildings.
