Via San Cesareo (San Cesareo Street), Sorrento

San Cesareo Street has always been a "main" street. In Roman times it was the central cross street of ancient Sorrento. It is a bit shorter than Italy Avenue. On Italy Avenue, the shops are sizeable and the street roomier. San Cesarea Street is often cramped with people and merchandise together.

Maybe it is the crowding or the lemon liqueur, but San Cesareo Street seems to be more entertaining than Italy Avenue. Ultimately San Cesareo Street merges into Fuoro Street, essentially a continuation of the same street.

San Cesareo Street is a short walk from Tasso Square. Find the Bar Ercolano on the square. To the right of the bar is the beginning of San Cesareo Street. Close by the street is the Inlaid Wood Work Museum (Museo Bottega della Tarsia Lignea), dedicated to the art of inlaid wood.

The Dominova Seat (Sedile Dominova), built in 1319, is an ancient meeting place where nobles would meet for discussions. Now it is a venue for card players. To the left of the Dominova Seat is the Addolorata Church, a Baroque-style church built in 1739. Sorrento Cathedral is on Italy Avenue, only a short distance away.

Since the old days of the Roman Empire, the street has remained essentially the same. It has always been a go-to street for shopping. Here one can stuff shopping bags with souvenirs, merchandise, novelties, curios, arts and crafts, and whatever else.
