Vallone dei Mulini (known in English as Valley of the Mills) is a historic valley in Sorrento, Italy.
5
The flour mills, built from stone as far back as the 13th century.

Its name derived from its beginning function: to grind grain.

The valley originates from the release of waters into a tufa plain about 37,000 years ago, following the eruption of the Campi Flegrei.

It was in operation until the beginning of the tenth century. In 1866, Piazza Tasso was established, and it caused the mill and the surrounding sea to be isolated. The building was closed and abandoned in the 1940s.

and salami.

Sorrento’s Cloister of San Francesco is an oasis of tranquility steps away from the historic town’s bustling central piazza of Sant’Antonino. Built on the remains of a 7th century monastery and dating back to the 14th century has a unique architecture.

The cloister unites a religious complex of the seventh-century monastery and a late-medieval church, both dedicated to St Francis of Assisi and is a showpiece of various architectural styles from pre-Roman through Arabic to medieval.

Spot the columns, each one differently decorated from one another and admire the majestic pepper tree, which stands superbly in the middle.
