Sorrento

The historic center still shows the orthogonal layout of Roman-origin streets with cardi and decumani, while towards the mountains it is surrounded by 16th-century walls. Here, you can find the cathedral, rebuilt in the 15th century with a neo-Gothic facade, and the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, featuring a remarkable 14th-century cloister, with an Arabesque portico of interwoven arches resting on octagonal pillars. The Correale di Terranova Museum displays collections of Greek and Roman artifacts, as well as Capodimonte porcelain, with a section dedicated to 17th-19th century painting. From the park, there is also a magnificent view of the gulf. Near Punta del Capo, 3 km west, there are Roman ruins believed to be the villa of Pollio Felice (1st century AD). Another maritime villa is the villa of Agrippa Postumus, built by Augustus’ ill-fated grandson. There are also ruins of the Roman villa of Queen Giovanna of Anjou near the baths of the same name, as well as other patrician villas along the long beach beneath the tuff coastline, where there is also a fascinating nymphaeum from the same era.
