The Veiled Christ (Cristo Velato) – Review

5.00The Veiled Christ is one of the most extraordinary artworks I have ever seen, and absolutely a must-visit in Naples. The level of detail in the marble is unbelievable — the veil looks so real that you almost expect it to move. The chapel is small but beautifully lit, allowing you to appreciate every angle of the sculpture. I recommend booking tickets in advance because the time slots fill up quickly, and the line can be long during peak hours. Even if you are not an art expert, this masterpiece is deeply moving and worth the visit. One of the true highlights of Naples.
Very good experience

5.00Beautiful experience. Incredible how one can be fascinated by what the artist has managed to represent with the sole help of inspiration and means that he could have at his disposal at that time. Also to thank the absolute knowledge and professionalism as well as the passion with which the guide led us throughout the duration of the visit.

5.00Very beautiful and interesting experience, even surprising compared to what is known about the Veiled Christ. The figure of the Prince of Sansevero is very interesting.
Words can’t describe the Veiled Christ

5.00Francesca was an excellent tour guide. Though we came to see the Veiled Christ, which is simply exquisite, and there are no words to truly describe it, this tiny Chapel has so much more, there is so much more to the story. No photos allowed inside the chapel.
Beautiful!

5.00I was skeptical, but I had to change my mind, a really lovely place and a really touching atmosphere! We were wrong not to do the guided tour, because surely we would have appreciated even more what our disbelieving eyes could admire!
