Of the defensive
Greek enclosure walls has survived the walling existent under the road level of
Porta Parsano Nuova, still visible in proximity to the door itself.
Another evidence of the Greek walling ruins, of very limited dimensions, beyond
the Door of Marina Grande, is the little line of the eastern curtain, in via
Sopra alle Mura. The Roman town was superimposed to the Greek installation,
respecting the urban plan and the same big blocks enclosure walls.
In the Middle Ages these walls kept their function of defence of Sorrento. Their
remaking started in 1551 and was completed only in 1562, after the tragic
invasion by the Turks.
