A marble statue of the poet Torquato Tasso, born in Sorrento in 1544, stands in the centre of the town in Piazza Tasso. In the newer part of Sorrento is the Museo Correale, founded in 1924, where a death mask of Torquato Tasso and rare editions of his works are exhibited.

One of the most beautiful parts of the city is the former fishing district of Borgo San Giuliano. The atmosphere in the narrow, cobbled alleyways with their pretty, sometimes beautifully renovated houses is unique.
