Tips from locals
Vallone dei Mulini is one of the most incredible historical places in Sorrento. An entire ancient city abandoned by the citiziens when they settled in the actual Sorrento. You can admire these ancient buildings (expecially a big mill), street and bridges covered by a mantle of grass and history. You'll never forget it!

The name of this valley derives from the existence of a numerous mills used for grinding the wheat. The creation of Tasso Square in 1866, determined the isolation of the mill area from the sea causing an increase of humidity which made the area unbereable and was abandoned.
