In the main square, well known as Largo of the Caste, is the yellow-painted Baroque Carmelite Church del Carmine, holding within its interior a painting by Onofrio Avellino of the Virgin Mary with Saint Simon Stock and angels.[1] On the square stands a statue of Saint Antoninus of Sorrento. The shopping street Via San Cesareo leads off the square to the west.
Also near Piazza Tasso is the Palazzo Correale, now also a museum, Museum Correale.
