Full description

The historic centre of Naples is a living museum, and this walk links two of its treasures. In the Cappella Sansevero, Giuseppe Sanmartino’s Veiled Christ seems to lie under a sheet of transparent cloth carved from a single block of marble. Nearby, the monastery of Santa Chiara hides a peaceful cloister of columns and benches covered in painted majolica.

Between the two your guide leads you along Spaccanapoli, past baroque churches, street shrines and the nativity workshops of San Gregorio Armeno. Photography is not allowed inside the Sansevero Chapel, and timed entry is set by the chapel.
