What to do and see in Sorrento, Campania: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites

June 25, 2021 Etsuko Causey

Land of Mermaids. Land of Orange and Lemon Groves. Land of Colors. This small city in Campania has earned a plethora of alluring names. Famed for its sea cliffs, the town's steep slopes look out over azure waters to Ischia, Capri and the Bay of Naples. The birthplace of Limoncello liqueur offers some good diving, great sea fishing, boat cruises and appetizing restaurants. Excellent hiking trails cross the peninsula. Rent a car or take a taxi if the steep streets look too intimidating.

Chiostro di San Francesco

Reviewed By FedoraOnTour - Sidcup, United Kingdom

This lovely little building houses a rather excellent exhibition of photographs by RAFFAELE CELENTANO which is well worth a look. Also when I went in July 2019 there was an exhibition on SOPHIA LOREN. Great views from the balcony AND a swing - try it out!

Duomo dei San Filippo e Giacomo

Reviewed By jackiecZ4908AW - Peterborough, United Kingdom

This cathedral can be easily found whilst walking around the quaint town of Sorrento. The architecture is stunning and the painted ceiling is beautiful. The inlaid marquetry door is lovely. So much character and the atmosphere is so peaceful and tranquil. It really is a beautiful special place. There is no admission charge

Chiesa di Sant'Anna

Reviewed By wendyanddavid536 - Solihull, United Kingdom

A tiny church on the sea front in Sorrento's Marina Grande, being lovingly cleaned by a couple of elderly ladies when we visited. The church is relatively simply decorated compared to most Italian churches, but with the usual (to non-Catholic eyes) garish statues, and two large cases of silver votives - miniature depictions of parts of the anatomy which had been presumably cured after praying to St Anna.
