Its narrow streets are rich in Italian history, with churches dating back to the Renaissance.

You’ll find some of the best attractions in Sant’Agnello in the historical centre of the town. Follow the medieval streets to find the Renaissance treasures that lie in the naves of the Most Holy Prisco and Agnello church. The beautiful Mancinelli painting of the Madonna holding the baby Jesus is a particular highlight. Wander up the steep streets to find the striking white Capuchin Monastery, built in the early 17th-century. Take a break from the warm sunshine and head inside to find a delightful oasis of peace.
For one of the best things to do in Sant’Agnello, take a walk from the town centre to neighbouring Sorrento. It’s only a mile and a half away, and you’ll take in some beautiful sights along the way. Wander along the medieval lanes to get some great views of the Mediterranean. Remember to bring your camera, as you’ll come across remnants from the eruption of Mount Vesuvio on the way. And don’t worry if you get lost – the locals will be more than happy to direct you down the right village lanes.
Perched next to the calm seas of the Mediterranean, it’s no surprise that watersports are some of the most popular activities in Sant’Agnello. Spend your days surfing the waters and canoe along the coastline. To get to the beach, take the stairs or lift from the street down to Marinella beach. If you’re here in the winter, you’ll have easy access to the ski and snowboarding areas like Monte Pollino in the Basilicata area.
