The Journey
Piazza del Plebiscito
Begin your Neapolitan adventure in Piazza del Plebiscito, a grand square that embodies the city's evolution. Once a rural outpost, it transformed into a symbol of royal power and public life. Marvel at the neoclassical architecture of the Royal Palace and the Church of San Francesco di Paola, and imagine the grand processions and historical events that have unfolded here, all while being introduced by the iconic mask of Naples, Pulcinella.
Ancient Greek Walls & Pizzeria
Indulge in a slice of history at what is considered the world's oldest pizzeria, Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba, a culinary landmark since 1738. While savoring authentic Neapolitan pizza, uncover the hidden remains of the ancient Greek walls that once protected Neapolis, offering a glimpse into the city's ancient origins and the foundations upon which Naples was built.
Piazza Santa Chiara
Step into the cinematic Piazza Santa Chiara, a square immortalized by filmmaker Vittorio De Sica. Explore the serene Santa Chiara Monastery, renowned for its stunning cloister adorned with hand-painted majolica tiles depicting scenes of Neapolitan life. Nearby, the Church of Gesù Nuovo presents a striking facade and an opulent Baroque interior, making this square a rich tapestry of art, history, and religious significance.
Cappella Sansevero
Venture into Cappella Sansevero, a masterpiece of Baroque art and a repository of enigmatic history. Guided by the story of a mysterious noblewoman and potentially a Da Vinci connection, witness the Veiled Christ, a sculpture of breathtaking realism. Discover the anatomical machines and explore the burial place of Aragon kings, all within a space imbued with tales of saints, philosophers, and painters who have shaped Naples' cultural identity.
Spaccanapoli
Immerse yourself in the vibrant heart of Naples along Spaccanapoli, a long, narrow street that bisects the city. Dive into the world of the Neapolitan presepe (nativity scene), a beloved tradition. Meet local artisans who meticulously craft these miniature worlds using centuries-old techniques, and learn about the global journey of this iconic art form, from its humble origins to its worldwide appeal.
Baroque Church (Undisclosed)
Seek out a lesser-known Baroque treasure, a church shrouded in mystery and guided by the story of a mysterious monk. Discover intricate details and hidden symbolism within its walls, experiencing a more intimate and less-traveled aspect of Naples' rich religious heritage. This hidden gem offers a unique perspective on the city's artistic and spiritual landscape.
Naples Cathedral (Duomo)
Follow in the footsteps of Saint Gennaro, the patron saint of Naples, through the city’s majestic cathedral. Discover sacred relics, invaluable treasures, and witness the miracle of the liquefaction of Saint Gennaro's blood, a phenomenon that embodies the unique blend of faith, fear, and celebration deeply rooted in Neapolitan tradition. Explore the chapels and crypts, each a testament to the city's enduring devotion.
Pio Monte della Misericordia
Stand in awe before Caravaggio's masterpiece, "The Seven Works of Mercy," housed within the Pio Monte della Misericordia. Step inside the canvas and be captivated by the dramatic lighting and raw emotion that define Caravaggio's style. This compelling artwork showcases the artist's unique ability to blend the sacred and the profane, leaving a lasting impression on all who behold it.
Old Ospedale degli Incurabili
Conclude your journey in the former Ospedale degli Incurabili (Hospital for Incurables), once a plague hospital. Encounter the stories of Queen Giovanna and a 17th-century doctor as you uncover tales of pandemics, power struggles, and resilience within this hauntingly beautiful and often-overlooked complex. Experience the echoes of the past and contemplate the city's enduring spirit in the face of adversity.
