Is a pleasant holiday resort on the coast at about at 1,5 miles from Sorrento, named after its patron saint, which is venerated in the beautiful baroque church with the same name. On its side there is the imposing campanile and both are preceeded by a stairway as large as the whole facade. In this church by tradition they came from the neighbourhood the husbands of parturient women, to ask the Saint for a good result of the birth.The most interesting place to visit architecturally is the baroque style church of Sant’Agnello.
Whilst you walk through the streets of the town you can also see some houses with original windows and doors from the 15th century. From the main square of Sant’Agnello, if you go down Via Dei Cappuccini, you arrive at the beautiful beach of the Marinella which is situated at the end of a deep gorge of volcanic rock which in ancient times was used as the jetty of a Roman villa. If you continue along Corso Crawford, you can see an ancient convent surrounded by lush vegetation which has been cleverly renovated and transformed into a hotel without spoiling its historical architecture. Don’t’ miss to visit the beautiful countryside of Santa Agnello. Also, a nice excursion is a boat trip to the Grotta delle Sirene (the mermaids’ cave).
