Sorrento - Ruins
Lush vegetation surrounds the ruins of the Deep Valley of the Mills in Sorrento.
The name âValley of the Millsâ, derives from the existence of a mill â functioning since the â900â²s â used for grinding wheat. Attached to the mill, rose a sawmill which furnished chaff to the Sorrentine cabinet makers. The creation of Tasso Square in 1866 cut off the mill area from the sea, increasing the humidity of the valley, making it unsuitable for a mill.
