Chiesa di San Paolo, Baroque church in Sorrento, Italy.

The Chiesa di San Paolo features a Latin cross layout with a single nave and barrel vault, decorated with lunar-shaped windows and stucco work.

Documents confirm the church's existence before 872, and it underwent significant reconstruction after Turkish raids in 1558 and an earthquake in 1731.

The main altar displays a painting depicting the Conversion of Saint Paul, with statues of Saint Scholastica and Saint Benedict on both sides.

The church maintains its central location in Sorrento's historic district, making it accessible for visitors exploring the Roman quarter of the town.

The entire floor consists of terracotta tiles with majolica decorations featuring animals, flowers, and leaves, extending to the external dome covering.
