Basilica di San Michele Arcangelo, Minor basilica in Piano di Sorrento, Italy.

The Basilica di San Michele Arcangelo is reached by a wide stone staircase. Its baroque facade is divided into three sections by two columns with capitals; the central 16th-century portal has bronze doors by Alessandro Romano with reliefs of archangels and the Trinity, and above it a fresco of Michael driving out Satan. Inside, the Latin-cross plan has three naves, an 18th-century marble floor, a coffered ceiling with seven paintings of the life of the saint, and a painted false dome of 1729 by Francesco Saraceni.

The church was built in the 9th century, already documented between 913 and 917 during a visit by Bishop Leopardo, on the site of a Roman temple probably dedicated to Minerva or of a necropolis. It was rebuilt in 1405 and became a parish in 1451. The 1688 earthquake collapsed the bell tower, dome and parts of the nave and facade; restoration ended with reconsecration by Bishop Ludovico Agnello Anastasio in 1726. Pope Benedict XV raised it to minor basilica in 1914.

The parish was established in 1451, and the basilica was raised to minor basilica status by Pope Benedict XV in 1914. Inside, the Chapel of the Sailors holds a statue of Santa Maria di Trapani and a niche statue of Sant'Antonino by Vincenzo D'Adamo, reflecting the town's seafaring community.

The basilica is normally open to visitors during designated hours and remains actively used for worship services. Access may be limited when religious ceremonies are taking place.

The wooden statue of Saint Michael in the apse is carved from mulberry wood and laminated in gold and silver by the sculptor Giuseppe Maresca. Look also at the 1729 fresco of the saint in the false dome of the crossing, painted by Francesco Saraceni.
