De St Francis Church in the heart of Sorrento is baroque and topped by a bulbous torenspits, it is bordered by a stunning cloister from the 13th century with capitals decorated with floral motifs supporting the interlaced arcades in the Sicilian-Arabic style. The courtyard is beautiful. The cloister is from the pagan era to the Middle Ages, and is a delightfully peaceful place to visit. Musical evenings, concerts and exhibitions are also sometimes held there.

St Francis Church in the heart of Sorrento is bordered by a stunning cloister from the 13th century. The Church is very beautiful inside and out and the cloisters, where there are weddings every day are worth a visit. This is such a quaint, rustic church, so romantic to have a wedding here. The Mass on a Saturday evening is in English and it serves as your Sunday obligation. There is a wonderful statue of the saint opposite the church, with its own history. Photo of the beautiful courtyard of the cloister. Beautiful archways with hanging vines and flowers. A photo opportunity in every corner.
