The legends of the historic center

Overview

Naples is a city dripping with history and its inhabitants, gifted with an incredible imagination, have created a legend for almost everything!!! Let's start from the renowned Piazza del Gesù Nuovo in the heart of the city to unlock the enigma behind the diamond-shaped stones at the front of Church of Gesù, which is held dearly by Neapolitans due to their devotion to San Giuseppe Moscati. Further on, we'll find ourselves at Santa Chiara Monastery commissioned by Queen Sancia de Maiorca and whose phantom still roams around its magnificently tiled cloister. Now that we've mentioned legends, let us not forget Sansevero Chapel and its marvellous Veiled Christ statue as well as those mysterious anatomical machines in its crypt ... followed by small altarpieces, Miraculous Hair strands, Pulcinella masks and Skulls with ears until reaching San Gennaro himself ... so... are you intrigued
