There is a sculpture in Naples that leaves everyone speechless: the Veiled Christ. Carved by Giuseppe Sanmartino in 1753 from a single block of marble, its veil looks so light and transparent that for centuries legends have tried to explain it.
With your private guide, you set off from Piazza del Gesù Nuovo and enter the heart of the UNESCO-listed historic centre: the ancient Greco-Roman street grid, majestic churches, monumental cloisters and the workshops of San Gregorio Armeno, the street of nativity scenes. Your guide adapts the route to the crowds of the day, choosing the most beautiful corners and stories for you.
The highlight is the Sansevero Chapel, where you stand before the Veiled Christ with your entrance ticket already booked.
About three hours to feel the soul of Naples, among art, faith and timeless beauty.
