Chiesa di San Paolo, Baroque church in Sorrento, Italy.
Chiesa di San Paolo is a baroque church in Sorrento, Italy, featuring a Latin cross layout with a single nave and barrel vault. The interior showcases lunar-shaped windows and stucco ornamentation throughout.
The church existed before 872 but underwent major reconstruction following Turkish raids in 1558 and an earthquake in 1731. These events shaped the building's current appearance.
The main altar displays a painting of Saint Paul's conversion, with statues of Saint Scholastica and Saint Benedict positioned on either side. This artistic arrangement reflects the devotional practices that have shaped worship in this space.
The church sits in the heart of Sorrento's historic quarter, making it easily accessible for visitors exploring the Roman area. Its central location makes stopping by convenient during a walking tour.
The entire floor features terracotta tiles decorated with majolica designs depicting animals, flowers, and foliage. This ornate flooring even extends to the external dome covering.
