Architecture sights in Sorrento

  1. A

    Chiesa di San Francesco

    One of Sorrento’s most beautiful spaces, the medieval cloisters of the Chiesa di San Francesco are well worth a look. A harmonious marriage of architectural styles – two sides are lined with 14th-century crossed arches, the other two with round arches supported by octagonal pillars – they are often used to host exhibitions and summer concerts.

    Cathedral

    The gleaming white facade of the cathedral gives no hint of the exuberance housed within. There's a particularly striking Crucifixion above the main altar. The triple-tiered bell tower rests on an archway into which three classical columns and a number of other fragments have been set.
