Massa Lubrense on Sorrento Coast

An old legend tells that Massa Lubrense was the town where the mermaids that charmed Ulysses with their sweet singing lived, that’s why its first name was Sirenusion. Massa Lubrense has a geographical situation that influenced its development in the history: the proximity of the sea on one side helped the development of the town from the other side made this town exposed to the incursions of the enemies. That’s why Massa Lubrense has on its coast a series of sighting towers that are still there and has a very particular charm. When the streets, the bar and the houses of Massa Lubrense become red coloured at the sunset give a look to the sea, maybe you’ll see a beautiful girl vanishing into the water, because in this city real and fantasy are often mixed together.
