See the soul of Naples
This guided walking tour takes you on a journey into the heart of ancient Naples, in only 2.5 hours. Feel the humdrum of the old historic city center as you stroll along the Spaccanapoli and experience the year-round Christmas spirit in the alley of San Gregorio Armeno, dotted with artisanal shops and nativity figurines.
Unveil the “Veiled Christ”
As you step into the Sansevero Chapel, watch rays of light dance through the stained glass windows illuminating secrets centuries old in vivid colors. Amidst the elaborate Baroque frescoes and marble sculptures, the Veiled Christ by Giuseppe Sanmartino stands apart. Though carved from marble, the delicate veil over Christ’s form looks so real and it feels like it will flutter in any breath. People were so irked by its realistic details that rumors started floating. Most believed that some dark alchemy allowed the artist and the patron of the Chapel to turn anything and everything into marble. Listen to your guide paint vivid tapestries of the events that conspired inside and outside the Chapel’s walls.
You can opt for an Italian or French-speaking art historian guide to dive into this UNESCO-listed city of art, or a French-speaking guide as per your preference and comfort. The tour is available in Italian and French. The English-guided tour gives you skip-the-line access to Veiled Christ.
