Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll meet at the Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, a few steps away from the Cappella Sansevero. This marvel of Neapolitan Baroque houses the Veiled Christ, a piece so realistic it appears sculpted by a supernatural hand.

During the guided visit to the Cappella Sansevero, we will focus on this masterpiece. We will learn about Giuseppe Sanmartino, the creator, and his patron, Raimondo di Sangro. Other notable works include Modesty by Antonio Corradini and Il Disinganno by Francesco Queirolo, which are rich in symbolism. The Anatomical Machines also stand out; these are two human skeletons that showcase the circulatory system, created by doctor Giuseppe Salerno.

After a 35-minute visit, we will conclude this activity outside the Cappella Sansevero.
