To expose! Abandoned castle in the valley? (25 photos)

Directly beneath Piazza Tasso, in the heart of Sorrento, a beautiful view down the valley, which is called "Valle dei Mollino" (Mill Valley) (Il Vallone dei Mulini). From the place where once there was a bridge, called "Ponte dei Mollino," and you can see the canyon, where you can still find the remains of old buildings, but today they are abundantly covered with vegetation. In the Middle Ages, the valley was of great importance for the performance of the city, as it housed a mill for grain and corn, and a sawmill was also located here. Sorrento artisans used it received here wood for their traditional products. Today, from the buildings in the valley were only relics, as the construction of a modern city turned over the valley gorge in wetlands. But this valley is the site of the oldest settlements in Sorrento, there have even been found remains of a prehistoric settlement.
The city itself is located on a steep rocky banks, consisting of volcanic tuff on the same peninsula. Similar gorge is not uncommon for him.

Vallone dei Mulini, the once branched into three valleys, the best preserved of all. It is situated near the center of Sorrento and stretches from Via Fuorimura near Villa «La Rupe», not far from Piazza Tasso (Piazza Tasso)
Valley owes its name to the old mill located here (in my opinion, XVII century), which has ceased to operate in the early twentieth century. In addition to the mill there was a sawmill that was used for the treatment of different types of wood, and a public laundry. It worked it all Blagodyarya numerous mountain streams, spring water fills the valley.
