A little town near Naples, overlooking the sea. Its historical centre, surrounded by the ancient town walls, is typical of a Roman city with streets that intersecting themselves formed a net-shape. The historic streets, filled today with vibrant shops selling various goods, form interesting artistic routes winding along churches and ancient buildings.
Here it’s possible see the Dome, the Church of Saint Francesco from Assisi with its fourteenth-century monastery and the Correale of Terranova Museum where Greek and Roman finds, collection of inlaid wood works, porcelains’ Capodimonte and paintings from the 17th and 19th centuries are to be found. Along the coast, the Roman ruins of the Pollio Felice’s Villa are the destination of many tourists who love swimming in the baths of the Queen Giovanna.
A traditional holiday place, with many hotels dipped in the silence and surrounded by the greenery of lemons and orange groves, small parks, gardens and limpid sea… the sea where mythological mermaids tempted Ulysses with melodious songs.
It’s possible taste home-made cakes, buns, ice-creams in every bar. Restaurants like “Don Alfonso 1890” in Sant’Agata sui due Golfi, awarded three stars in the Michelin guide, offer a very high quality of gastronomy and then… it’s also possible taste the world neapolitan “pizza” and the famous “limoncello”.
