Sorrento is surrounded by fascinating pieces of history, particularly in archeological sites with ruins of Greek and Roman settlements.<\/span><\/p>

I had the opportunity to study and visit some places in and around Sorrento\u00a0that I would recommend visiting if you\u2019re interested in history.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This area is right by Piazza Tasso<\/strong>, the main square of Sorrento, but has an entirely different feeling than the busyness<\/strong> of<\/strong> the square and the surrounding area<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For centuries, this valley used to have sawmills<\/strong>, mills, oil mills, and wash houses<\/strong> that utilized the water running through the area for energy.<\/span><\/p>

However, the high level of humidity after Piazza Tasso was built at the beginning of the 20th century caused the valley to be abandoned<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>

This gorge is now home to the remains of a mill and sawmill and plant life that thrives in this extreme humidity<\/strong>, in particular the <\/span>Phyllitis Vulgaris<\/span><\/i>, a rare type of fern. <\/span><\/p>

While you cannot visit the ruins themselves, you can look down into this valley<\/strong> and ruins from above on Via Fuorimura<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Sedil Dominova<\/em>, or the Dominova Seat was where the aristocrats of Sorrento would meet<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>

This was constructed in the 14th century<\/strong> and is the only surviving noble seat in Campania Region<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

Located on<\/strong> one of the streets parallel to Corso Italia, this important site is on Via San Cesareo<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>

It is beautifully decorated with frescoes<\/strong> that include depictions of columns, archways, cherubs, and above the door is the Sorrento coat of arms. <\/span><\/p>

The archway frescos create a sort of optical illusion as it follows the curve of the structure making it appear to be deeper than it actually is<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>

Now, it is home to Societ\u00e0 Operaia di Mutuo Soccorso<\/em>, the Worker\u2019s Aid Mutual Society.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Bastion of Parsano is part of the remains of the old walls of Sorrento<\/strong>, and this intimidating structure acted as a defense system<\/strong> of protection from invaders.<\/span><\/p>

I visited the Bastion of Parsano when it was closed, but I still got to see it from the outside. <\/span><\/p>

It stands right off of Corso Italia<\/strong>, and I was surprised to see this so close to where I walked many times. <\/span><\/p>

Prior to visiting, I had expected it to be further away from parts of Sorrento I had been in since I had never noticed it, but it was quite close by.<\/span><\/p>

The walkway above the ancient walls has recently been opened to the public. Click here<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Sorrento is also full of small pieces of history<\/strong> simply incorporated into or used as modern buildings<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>

Just walking around you might walk past a piece of history and not even realize it!<\/span><\/p>

One of these sites is Correale Mansion<\/strong> (Palazzo Correale<\/em>), from the 15th or 16th century featuring Late-Gothic and Catalan traditional architecture<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>

It was owned by the Correale family<\/strong>, the noble family, as referenced in the name. <\/span><\/p>

This building is now home to a school<\/strong>, but the historical architecture is evident from the outside of the building, particularly in the doorway and windows.<\/span><\/p>

In addition<\/strong> to historical buildings being used as modern ones, there are parts of them incorporated into modern buildings such as this<\/strong> one, a pilaster likely from an ancient cathedral<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>

This is a part of the corner of a gelateria in Piazza Tasso.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
