Entering the Duomo of Naples while a Mass was in progress immediately changed the perception of the space. The cathedral did not feel like a monument to be observed, but like a living place where architecture, art, and devotion are still actively intertwined. The Gothic façade introduces a solemn setting, but it is the interior that truly impresses with its monumental scale and rich stratification...

Gorgeous! Such beautiful church, with amazing ceiling. The altar is simply sublime and the Duomo paintings are just amazing. Don't miss the Cripta di San Gennaro. This is a must do when in Napoli!

A stunning cathedral. My wife and I can across this place while casually wandering around the shops. It snuck up on us a little bit, we knew of it but not its exact location. And what a wonderful surprise it was. Perhaps the most beautiful building we've ever been in. Just look at the pics which give an idea. It's free, but I'd suggest donating.
