A Franciscan church in the centre of Sorrento, with its famous 14th-century cloister incorporating remains of ancient temples.

Next to the Villa Comunale, right in the centre of Sorrento, the Church of San Francesco is linked to one of the oldest monuments in the town: its 14th-century cloister.We love it because the cloister blends 14th-century style with those of later periods and incorporates remains of pagan temples and other ancient buildings. We recommend dropping by at sunset and taking a short stroll to the nearby birthplace of Torquato Tasso.
