Torquato Tasso Square
Description:
Torquato Tasso Square is the heart of Sorrento. It is here that the statue of the Benedictine monk St. Antonio, the heavenly patron of the city, the church of the XIV century Santa Maria del Carmine and the monument to the poet Torquato Tasso are located.
The magnificent square represents not only the cultural and spiritual beginning of the city. Life is boiling here - business meetings, dates are appointed, relaxed friendly gatherings and tourist walks are carried out.
But Torquato Tasso Square has had a lot to experience. The castle of Ferdinand of Aragon and the fortress wall, which served to protect the city from enemy raids, no longer adorn Sorrento with its grandeur. Time passes, and history erases from the face of the earth many architectural creations of the past.
Today, the famous street Corso Italy originates from the square, which will take tourists to the world of exquisite restaurants and lively cafes.
