Basilica di Sant’Antonino

The Basilica of Sant’Antonino (city’s patron saint) is among the most beautiful religious buildings in Sorrento. Sant’Antonino’s tomb is preserved in the crypt of this monumental church.  Located a short distance from the Cathedral, it was built in the 11th century and then underwent many changes. The present structure is in Baroque style. The interior has a Latin cross plan and is divided into three naves. The frescoes by Giovan Bernardo Lama in the nave are magnificent. In the sacristy you can see a beautiful 18th-century nativity scene of the Neapolitan school. Shepherds were made with great attention to detail.
