Activity Details
The Chapel of San Gennaro is the ultimate synthesis of the deep relationship of faith between the people of Naples and their patron saint. Plan your visit to the place that is a symbol of art and popular devotion!
Discover this jewel of art and Baroque architecture inside the Cathedral of Naples, which contains the most important expressions of 1500 and 1600 art. Built between 1608 and 1646, the chapel was erected in honor of the city's patron Saint Gennaro, who protected Naples during a series of terrible events including a French siege, a resurgence of the plague, and a volcanic eruption by Vesuvius.
Admire the refined interiors and the pictorial decorations that involved many of the premier painters of early 17th century Rome and Naples. Have a close look at Domenichino's majestic frescos, the porphyry altar, and the gold and silver reliquary bust of Saint Gennaro. Pass by the imposing sculptures of St Peter and Paul flanking the entrance and move among the fifty-four reliquary busts that adorn this unique place.
