The facade of the Naples Cathedral
The façade of Naples Cathedral.
On my last trip to the city, we wanted to visit the beautiful Duomo, officially known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
More than anything, we wanted to visit and see the Treasure of San Gennaro and the ampoule of blood.
Unfortunately, there were so many people that we couldn’t do so, but we had to simply tour the interior of the church and the adjoining chapels, but not the actual chapel.
This is the façade, in neo-Gothic style, with its very light color.
Have you ever been to Naples? And if so, have you visited its cathedral?

To see all the photos I took in the cathedral, go here: :
The Cathedral of Naples, officially known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, is a monumental basilica and the seat of the Archdiocese of Naples. The cathedral stands on the east side of the street of the same name, in a small square surrounded by porticoes, and incorporates, as side chapels, two other religious buildings that arose independently of the cathedral: the Basilica of Santa Restituta, which houses the oldest baptistery in the West, that of San Giovanni in Fonte, and the Royal Chapel of the Treasure of San Gennaro, which preserves the relics of the city’s patron saint.
