Best churches to visit in Naples

Naples’ most booked church visit is the Sansevero Chapel, with Giuseppe Sanmartino’s Veiled Christ, where timed tickets sell out. The cathedral keeps the relic of San Gennaro, the cloister of Santa Chiara is covered in painted majolica tiles, and the Certosa di San Martino looks down over the bay.
