Museum of the Treasure of San Gennaro

The bond that Naples Italy and the Neapolitans with San Gennaro goes far beyond the simple devotion to the patron saint. It is a visceral and shared sentiment, which over the centuries has overcome prohibitions and restrictions, becoming increasingly stronger. Although San Gennaro is considered by the church a saint of “Serie B”, it is not for the Neapolitans. The treasure is the most immediate and important proof of this love for “Yellow Face”, the name with which the Neapolitans call the Saint due to its most famous statue in gilded silver. The Treasure of San Gennaro is located in the Museum dedicated to the Saint, inside the Cathedral of Naples Italy, and collects relics and precious objects, which have become oracles of faith. An extraordinary journey through time among incredible masterpieces donated over the years by the many devotees of the Saint who have led in 700 years to the formation of the largest treasure in the world after that of the Crown of England. Hundreds of jewels, paintings, sculptures, statues, silver furnishings and fabrics, all unique masterpieces to be admired in the museum as soon as possible but which we can also see on the website with the […]

Royal Palace

The Royal Palace of Naples is a historic building located in Plebiscito Square, in the historic center of Naples Italy, where the main entrance is located: the entire complex, including the gardens and the San Carlo Theater, also overlooks Trieste and Trento Square, Municipio Square and Acton Street. The Palace was built in 1600 by Domenico Fontana commissioned by the viceroy Fernando Ruiz de Castro, who wanted to host King Philip III of Spain on an official visit to Naples, the capital of the vice kingdom, in a spacious and comfortable seat.

Umberto I Gallery – entrance San Carlo Street

The Umberto I Gallery, built at the end of the 19th century, is the most famous gallery in Naples Italy. Here you can enjoy a good coffee in the bars, enjoy the shop windows, or visit the pictorial beauties of the eighteenth-century paintings of the Church of Santa Brigida. The gallery has imposing entrance arches on the outside and two streets on the inside with an elegant floor with marble inlays that cross orthogonally under the dome. Admiring the majesty of the Umberto I Gallery in Naples Italy it is difficult to believe that it was built in just 3 years. Begun in 1887 and finished in 1890, it was built in the same years in which, in Paris, Gustave Eiffel built his famous Eiffel Tower. The Umberto I Gallery in Naples had nothing to envy to the monument with which it rivaled for the beauty and complexity of the structure. The numbers of this construction made heads spin: maximum length 147 meters, width 15, height 34 and a half, the top of the dome at 57 meters. In a short time the Gallery became the “worldly” center of Naples Italy, also thanks to its proximity to the most important […]
