Sorrento: introduction

Sorrento Hotel

It is still not certain exactly when the town was founded, but Sorrento was, without doubt, already a strategic commercial town for both the Greeks and the Etruscans. Today, Sorrento is a tourist destination of international repute, made all the more popular by a series of ancient traditions including the production of wine, gastronomic products and fine craftsmanship.

Oranges, lemons, walnuts, and olives are all grown on the territory Sorrento and a great variety of cheeses are produced here. The town is famous for its wood engraving and lace work, a tradition that dates back to the seventeenth century. Local jewellers make exquisite coral necklaces in various styles and dimensions. All these goods can be found in the little shops tucked away in the alleyways of Sorrento.

Sorrento boasts a number of important religious sites such as the archbishopric, the Basilica of Sant'Antonio, the Church of St. Maria del Carmine, the Church of San Francesco d'Assisi, Sorrento Cathedral, and the Monastery of St. Maria delle Grazie. Also well worth visiting are the Correale Museum of Terranova, the Sedile Dominova and the Via della Pietà.
