Together we will cross the heart of the Historic Center (UNESCO World Heritage) of Naples:

from Piazza Bellini, where you can still find visible portions of the Greek walls, you will skirt the Conservatory of Naples, and if we are lucky we will be able to listen to the rehearsals of the young Neapolitan musicians.

We will continue towards Via dei Tribunali, the Decumano Maggiore of ancient Neapolis, but also one of the liveliest and richest streets in Naples. Along the way you will observe the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore alla Pietrasanta, with its ancient Romanesque bell tower, and the mysterious church of Santa Maria delle Anime del Purgatorio in Arco.

The Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore, an Angevin jewel, and the Cathedral, which preserves the ampoule of the miraculous blood relic of San Gennaro, beloved patron saint of the city, will be waiting for you a few steps away.

Returning to Spaccanapoli, the lower decumanus, you will walk among the teeming and characteristic Neapolitan shops famous for their nativity scenes!

We will take you to discover the marvelous Basilica of San Domenico Maggiore, with its homonymous square that makes the scenery unique.

The last stop will be the precious Sansevero Chapel: the visit of the Veiled Christ, together with the tales of your guide, will be

an unforgettable experience.Explore some of the oldest streets of Naples and make your way to the archaeological area of Carminiello and Mannesi. Learn about the ancient ruins discovered in the area after a bombing raid in 1943. Continue to the basilica church of San Giorgio Maggiore, which has a history dating back to the 4th century AD. See evidence of its early-Christian origins, such as the ancient apse that later became the entrance of the current church. Make your way along Via San Biagio Dei Librai, colloquially known as "Spaccanapoli." Take in the scents, colors, and sounds of the long narrow street that runs through the heart of the historic center of Naples. On Via San Gregorio Armeno, the historic site of the craft workshops of the city, enjoy a short coffee break in one of the most famous bars in the area. See a lock of hair of Diego Maradona, an icon of Napoli's football team. Next, see the Nile God Statue located in Piazza Nilo, which is dated from the 2nd or 3rd century AD. Arrive at the scenic Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, named after the Dominican Basilica that surrounds it. Discover one of the most beautiful and largest churches in Naples, which remains a reference point for the chronological, political, and artistic history of the city. Last stop will be at Sansevero Chapel, which houses one of the most remarkable sculptures in the world, the Veiled Christ. Admire the stunning intricate detail of this marble sculpture created by Giussepe Sanmartino in 1753 to finish your tour of Naples.
