==Geography== {{Main|Geography of Campania}} Campania has an area of {{convert|13590|km2|0|abbr=on}} and a coastline of {{convert|500|km|0|abbr=on}} on the [[Tyrrhenian Sea]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chimica-online.it/come-quando-perche/km-di-costa-italia.htm|title=Km di costa in Italia|access-date=16 March 2023|language=it|archive-date=23 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230323105538/https://www.chimica-online.it/come-quando-perche/km-di-costa-italia.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Campania is famous for its gulfs (Naples, Salerno and Policastro) as well as for three islands ([[Capri]], [[Ischia]] and [[Procida]]). Four other regions border Campania; [[Lazio]] to the northwest, [[Molise]] to the north, [[Apulia]] (Puglia) to the northeast and [[Basilicata]] to the east. The mountainous interior is fragmented into several [[massif]]s, rarely reaching {{convert|2,000|m|0|abbr=on}} (Miletto of {{convert|2050|m|0|abbr=on}}),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trekkingfacile.it/da-campitello-matese-a-monte-miletto-2050m/|title=Da Campitello Matese a Monte Miletto|date=20 June 2020|access-date=16 March 2023|language=it|archive-date=18 September 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230918215730/https://www.trekkingfacile.it/da-campitello-matese-a-monte-miletto-2050m/|url-status=live}}</ref> whereas close to the coast there are volcanic massifs: [[Vesuvio]] ({{convert|1281|m|0|abbr=on}})<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.campania.info/vesuvio/|title=Vesuvio|access-date=16 March 2023|language=it|archive-date=29 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230129045225/https://www.campania.info/vesuvio/|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Campi Flegrei]]. The climate is typically [[Mediterranean climate|Mediterranean]] along the coast with warm, sunny and sultry summers and mild, rainy winters, whereas in the inner zones it is more continental, with lower temperatures in winter and warm summers. Snow is possible at higher elevations but rare at sea level. 51% of the total area is hilly, 34% mountainous and the remaining 15% is made up of plains.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.schededigeografia.net/Italia/Regioni/Campania.htm|title=Campania|access-date=16 March 2023|language=it|archive-date=7 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230207202323/https://www.schededigeografia.net/Italia/Regioni/Campania.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> There is a high [[seismic risk]] across the region. <gallery> Napoli_-_2007_0428_124522.JPG|Naples ([[Nunziatella Military School]]) Positano_2005a.jpg|[[Amalfi Coast]] ([[Positano]]) FaraglioniCapri.jpg|Island [[Capri]] P1010064.JPG|Island [[Ischia]] Ufita valley - Ariano I.jpeg|Typical landscape in [[Province of Avellino]], also known as [[Irpinia]] Forre del Titerno - (Cerreto Sannita) (3).JPG|Canyons of Forre del Titerno, [[Province of Benevento]] </gallery>
