About this experience

Naples Walking Tour with Sansevero Chapel and Veiled Christ This guided walking tour takes you through Naples' historic centre, ending with skip-the-line access to the renowned Sansevero Chapel. You'll explore the city's most significant churches, walk down the famous Spaccanapoli street, and witness the extraordinary Veiled Christ sculpture that has captivated visitors for centuries. Starting at Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, your local guide leads you through Naples' cultural heart. You'll visit the Church of Gesù Nuovo with its distinctive diamond-point façade, the peaceful cloister of Santa Chiara Basilica, and the imposing Naples Cathedral where you'll learn about the miracle of San Gennaro. The route includes Via San Gregorio Armeno, known as Christmas Alley, where artisans craft traditional nativity scenes year-round. The tour concludes at Sansevero Chapel, home to Giuseppe Sanmartino's masterpiece, the Veiled Christ. This 18th-century marble sculpture amazes visitors with its incredibly realistic veil carved from a single block of stone.
