seats and dates back to the XVIth century. In front of the bell tower annexed to the
cathedral, the Via Reginaldo Giuliani opens up and leads to the Sedil
Dominova (15th century), one of the two loggias where the representative
of an aristocratic party used to seek advice. The city coat of arms as
well as those of the various families of the Sorrento aristocracy are
displayed in its interior. It has a quadrilateral form with two corner arches
in piperno (lava) permitting the view of the interior of the cupola and
the end walls with 18th century frescoes. The pilasters and polystyle
arches with their capotals are in archaic style.The 17th century cupola is formed by green and
yellow majolica roof tiles. The end of the
walls and the interior of the cupola (1600) displays XVIIIth
century frescoes.
