Correale di Terranova Museum: the art and history of Sorrento
A short walk from the centre of Sorrento, the Correale di Terranova Museum preserves paintings, furnishings and porcelain in an 18th-century villa set in a garden overlooking the Gulf of Naples.
Among the most fascinating cultural destinations of the Sorrento Peninsula, the Correale di Terranova Museum is a must-see for guests of the Majestic Palace Sorrento. Housed in an elegant 18th-century villa, the museum was born from the passion of counts Alfredo and Pompeo Correale, who donated their extraordinary collections to the city.
The rooms display paintings of the Neapolitan school, period furnishings, Murano glass, clocks, ancient marbles and one of the most celebrated porcelain collections in Europe. Each room tells of the taste and refinement of the Campanian nobility between the 18th and 19th centuries, offering a journey through time between beauty and memory.
What makes the visit truly unique is also the garden: a park fragrant with citrus that slopes down towards the sea, with a belvedere overlooking the Gulf of Naples. It is the perfect place for a slow stroll, where art meets landscape.
From the Majestic Palace the museum is easily reachable, ideal for a morning devoted to culture before returning to relax between the hotel's garden and swimming pool.
