Non-homogeneous pavement mainly in cosmédine mosaic (th century). Admire the numerous frescoes of Byzantine influence, illustrating episodes of the Bible.

This city will have a destiny similar to that of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The fertility of its land and the abundance of drinking water reserves have always made it attractive over the centuries.

Located near Pompeii, the site is now included in the town of Torre Annunziata. As a victim of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79, this quarter occupied by the great Roman aristocrats and practitioners will be updated during archaeological excavations in 1964. See in particular the monumental villa Poppea. Wraparound by a beautiful garden and an elegant portico, the whole had 94 rooms. Paintings and sculptures of all beauty.

Work of Sanfelice, this church depends on the complex of the military college founded by the Marquis della Valle. The interior is one of the most complete examples of the sacred Neapolitan art of the eighteenth century.

Built in 1581 on the plans of Giovan Battista Lavagna, the church is enlarged and embellished in the seventeenth century.

This art gallery is actually opened by the neighboring town of Forio, with the aim of making known Villa Visconti. So we admire a painting of the director, the eye in the viewfinder. The quality of the chosen artists makes this gallery a mandatory detour for all art lovers. Held by Lina Vicario, a kind local who spent more than twenty years in France. Moreover, the French tourists who go to this place leave only long after: coffee, chat and coffee, time passes fast with Lina.

Born under the name of Santa Maria della Sanità, the church was built in 1582 by the Liparulo family. Inside, there are beautiful th century majolica tiles and a remarkable wooden statue from the th century.

Typical, you will find fishermen from the raw. A stopover is required.

A small, typical village on the cliff just 7 km from Sorrento, it's an interesting stopover to feel the air of time.

Marina Grande, as its name indicates, is both the fishing harbor and the broadest beach in the city. You can put your towel there free of charge while admiring the magnificent view over the Gulf of Naples. For those that the grayish sand would disturb, it is possible to rent chairs (about 5 €). Marinelle, below Sant 'Agnello, is also a good alternative. Here again there are 5 € entrance. They attract a very large number of tourists throughout the year.

For those who dare venture a little further, there is a nice sandy beach in Alimuri. Less crowded and free, it is easily accessible by using the A-bus line. The lovers of the spotlight can go to Punta del Capo, at the tip of the bay of Sorrento (other terminus of the A-bus line). The well-prepared rocks allow you to extend and bathe in transparent (free) water. The fishermen and the Roman ruins will give special attention to the small bath.

Several excursions are possible on the peninsula, looking for a haven of peace on more hidden coves and crystal-clear waters: the beach of Regina Giovanna, for example, is relatively easy to access but less beaten and still quite wild; the road is from Capo di Sorrento, terminal bus terminus. Another option is the Baia di Ieranto, at the end of the peninsula, between Capri and the shores of the coast, property of the Italian Environment Fund, and considered a protected marine area. Today it is accessible only on foot. The way to get there from Nerano, fraction of Massa Lubrense: from the main square, take the street down to a small parking lot, follow the path that connects to the right, indicated in yellow, which will lead you to the Capitello beach (approximately 40 minutes). For those who are looking for a little comfort once the towels are laid and the sun cream applied, visit Marina del Cantone beach in Nerano: A part of the beach is equipped, a small portion is not, but the parking is paid and the tourists often disembark in groups. Go ahead early in the morning to make sure you find a place!

The monastery and, above all, the panoramic point on the gulfs of Naples and Salerno, as well as the Monti There, have earned this place a famous reputation.

The church (th century), of Renaissance structure, is well known for its altar attributed to the Florence school of the th century. It is a unique artwork in the region, with decoration in mother-made tarsia, lapis-lazuli, malachite and all kinds of special marbles.

Having taken the stairs or lift, accessed rafting. Deep of 10 m, known for cavity clarity and the reflection of its emerald water. Presence of stalactites and stalagmites of the sometimes strange shapes.

This is the end of the peninsula of Sorrento, situated between the Gulf and Naples and the De region only 5 km from Capri. There was the Greek temple of Athena, then dedicated to Minerve. You can admire small remains of a Roman villa of the th and th centuries. A little further down, you can observe the Torre Minerva, built in 1334 and restored in 1567.
