Piazza Tasso, Sorrento

Piazza Tasso is the vibrant heart of Sorrento, a bustling square where locals and visitors converge. Surrounded by historic buildings, including the Palazzo Municipale (town hall) and the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, the square is named after the 16th-century poet Torquato Tasso, who was born in Sorrento. The piazza is filled with outdoor cafes, restaurants, and shops selling limoncello and local crafts. It serves as a central meeting point and a gateway to the old town. Street performers and markets often animate the square. From here, you can access the Corso Italia, the main shopping street, and the Villa Comunale park, which offers stunning views over the Bay of Naples.
