The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Naples, Campania

April 1, 2022 Mollie Coke

Romantic Naples, two hours south of Rome, is the largest city in southern Italy. It has some of the world's best opera and theater houses and is often called an open-air museum, due to its many historic statues and monuments. Join families on promenade as the sun sets on the Bay of Naples. View finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum, destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale or revel in the art and architecture of Museo Cappella Sansevero, built in the late 1500s.

Cimitero delle Fontanelle

Reviewed By sfrank1967 - Maisons-Laffitte, France

The cemetery is actually a massive man made cave containing the remnants of more than 15,000 napolitains who have died throughout the centuries. It is located in a very pittoresque area of Napoli, vibrant and very poor, below San Gennaro Catacombs. Many of the cranes exposed used actually to have been “adopted” by Napolitan families for protection, they are now back after the church denounced this pagan rite. I saw families with very young children however I would not advise unless children are briefed before the experience as it can be quite troubling to witness the mass of bones. Fontanelle is unique in the world and is for me almost worth the trip to Napoli. It is an historic but almost a very spiritual visit whatever your faith (or non faith) is.

Pio Monte della Misericordia

An unassuming church on the outside but inside you have art by the great carravagio and other outstanding works. Upstairs has a museum charting neapolitan history and providing a show case for some modern art.
