Stand before the Veiled Christ, one of the world's most astonishing marble sculptures, then view the jaw-dropping jeweled Treasure of San Gennaro.
What to expect
Inside the intimate baroque chapel, the Veiled Christ appears almost translucent under marble drapery, a technique still debated by scholars. A short walk brings you to the Treasure of San Gennaro, whose gem-encrusted mitre reportedly surpasses the Crown Jewels in value. A knowledgeable guide narrates the legends behind both.
