Very close to St Antonino’s square, the Church and the cloister are nearby, both dedicated to Saint Francis.
The original Church probably dates from XVI century, exactly like the cloister. Today is quite different because the Church has undergone several renovations and interventions as you can see from the marble facade. The Church has a single nave with different side chapels, that depict statues of Saint Rita and Saint Antonio from Padova.

The cloister dates from 1300, is framed by arches in Roman style.
On the second floor there’s an exposition of music box, carillion, and you can also admire a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Naples.

Are one of features of Sorrento. Crossing this alleys, San Cesareo is the most important, you can find small shops wher buy liqueurs and local products. Don’t miss the "limoncello" and "nocillo" liqueurs made respectlively with lemons and walnuts of Sorrento.
Clothes, bags, candles, handmade pasta, sandals and chocolate are just some of the things that you find in these little streets.

It’s the agreeable climate which makes this coast perfect for growing fruits, olives, and grapes, all of which find their way onto the menus of the local restaurants. Naturally, fish and shellfish are staples. Almost all dishes are made with olive oil which is produced locally. Time and again, you’ll see that mozzarella, tomato sauce and olive oil are the basic ingredients, expertly cooked, which make the best meals (try the "gnocchi alla Sorrentina").
As for drinks, the local people drinking good local red wine, refreshing "limoncello", and of course coffee accompanied by delicious pastry and ice cream.
