Piazza Tasso and centro storico
Centre
The historic main square of Sorrento at the junction of the Corso Italia and the Via San Cesareo entry to the centro storico, named after the 16th-century poet Torquato Tasso (born in Sorrento 1544), with the statue of Sant'Antonino (patron saint of Sorrento) and the church of Santa Maria del Carmine. Surrounded by historic café-bars and the Vallone dei Mulini viewpoint at the east edge. Leashed dogs welcome on the square and on all the centro storico pedestrian streets year-round.
💡 Sit at a Piazza Tasso café-bar at 19:00 for aperitivo; the passeggiata builds along the Corso Italia, the centro storico fills with diners heading to Via San Cesareo and your dog watches the Sant'Antonino statue catch the western evening light while the church bells ring out across the square.
