Located in the heart of Sorrento, just a two minute walk from the Piazza Tasso. It is quite a remarkable building and one I never tire of visiting,  the Cathedral dates back to the eleventh century and was completely rebuilt in the fifteenth century. The façade was restored in 1924 in a neo gothic style.

The interior has three naves, separated by pillars. It houses some magnificent seventeenth century paintings. In the central nave are some stunning works by Oronzo and Nicola Malinconico depicting the ‘Martyr saints of Sorrento’ and also paintings by Giacomo del Po. Around the Cathedral are many inlaid pictures depicting the ‘Stations of the Cross’ and many other fine works of marquetry.

The pulpit of the church shows a bas-relief that proposes the Jesus Baptism while in the Chapel of the Sacrament there is a wooden Crucifix of the fifteenth century positioned on a polychrome marble altar of the end of the seventeenth century.

In the last chapel on the left is kept an important nativity scene of the Neapolitan tradition of the eighteenth century.
