Sorrento Cathedral, dedicated to Saints Philip and James, stands in the historic center as the city's main religious landmark. Its Baroque facade, added in the 18th century, contrasts with the original Gothic-Catalan architecture inside. Visitors admire the wooden choir stalls carved with biblical scenes, the polychrome marble altar, and frescoes by local artists. The cathedral also houses a crypt with ancient Roman columns and a small museum of religious art. Its central location makes it an easy stop during a stroll through Sorrento's narrow streets.
