Attrazioni in Sorrento
Piazza Tasso
On this beautiful square, you can visit Palazzo Venero, which dates back to the 13th Century. This building shows evidence of late Byzantine and Arabic influences. At the corner of Via S. Caesario, there’s Sedile di Porta, which was erected near the main entrance to the town in the open space then called Largo del Castello. Afterwards, it was first turned into a prison, then a sentry-box for the urban militia, and in the end it became the meeting point for the Sorrento Club. Just in front of it, you can see the Church of Carmine, which dates back to ancient times when Christians were persecuted in Sorrento. Inside, you can admire paintings by 17th- and 18th-Century artists and two inlaid-wood reliquaries dating back to 1600.
Marina Grande & Marina Piccola
As a harbour, Sorrento boasts two beautiful marinas: Grand and Piccola. The first one is particularly famous for its Door of Marina Grande, which shows the characteristics of ancient Greek doors. Situated under a tower of which only a few traces have survived, it was probably the only entry into the town from the sea. Along with the other door, situated in Marina Piccola, in the Pre-Roman era it created a channel for trade with nearby towns.
Palazzo Correale
Palazzo Correale is characterised by a wonderful large window with a magnificent Gothic decor. Inside, you can admire a traditional Neapolitan archway with Durazzo - Catalan profiles, used from the end of the 14th Century and for the entire 15th Century.
