Sorrento's Historical Treasures

Sorrento's historical landscape spans from Roman maritime architecture to 16th-century defensive fortifications. This collection highlights the archaeological remains of the Villa Pollio Felice at Capo di Sorrento and the preserved Bastione di Parsano, part of the city's Spanish-era defensive walls. Cultural heritage is further explored through the Museobottega della Tarsialignea, which preserves the local tradition of inlaid wood, and monuments dedicated to the poet Torquato Tasso and the city's patron saint, Antonino Abate.
