The guide will share fascinating details about its creation, intricate craftsmanship, and the myths surrounding its lifelike appearance.

    Sansevero Chapel

    The Sansevero Chapel is a showcase of Rococo art and symbolism. Apart from the Veiled Christ, you’ll see other remarkable sculptures like Modesty and Disillusion. The tour also includes a look at the Anatomical Machines—two preserved skeletons with detailed circulatory systems. As you explore, your guide will reveal the stories of Prince Raimondo di Sangro of Sansevero, the visionary behind this extraordinary place.
