Why Visit the Chiostro di San Francesco?
Located just steps from Piazza Sant’Antonino and Villa Comunale, the Chiostro di San Francesco (Cloister of St. Francis) is a masterpiece of medieval and baroque architecture. Dating back to the 14th century, it combines styles from different eras—including Arabic, late Renaissance, and even pagan Roman elements.
What makes this cloister truly special is its unique atmosphere: peaceful, intimate, and always open to the sky. It’s a favorite among artists, musicians, and couples seeking a romantic moment or a scenic photo.
Highlights of the cloister include:
- Graceful arches resting on stone columns from various periods
- A peaceful garden filled with Mediterranean plants
- A setting for summer concerts, art exhibitions, and civil weddings
- Proximity to Sorrento’s panoramic public terrace
Whether you’re interested in sacred history or simply want a peaceful break from the busy streets, the Chiostro is a timeless sanctuary.
