What people say
Pedro Pereira

"Nestled right beside the delightful Villa Comunale park in Sorrento lies the Chiesa di San Francesco (Church of St. Francis), a charming testament to faith and history. Built initially as an oratory, its exact date of construction remains shrouded in time, but later dedications place it sometime before the 14th century.
The church itself boasts a simple elegance. Its facade is adorned in a clean white, reflecting the warm Sorrento sunshine. Stepping inside, you'll find a single nave, a long and central hall, flanked by six chapels. Each chapel likely held its own special treasures and stories, serving as dedicated spaces for prayer and reflection.
But the true gem of this complex lies just beyond the church – the captivating 14th-century cloister. Stepping into this tranquil courtyard is like entering a world apart from the lively streets of Sorrento."
