Show your smartphone voucher to the guide. Arrive on time because the tour follows a scheduled itinerary and timed entrance to the Sansevero Chapel. ## Walking through the historic centre of Naples The guided route crosses the heart of one of Europe's largest historic city centres. Highlights can include: - Piazza del Gesù Nuovo; - Spaccanapoli; - Piazza San Domenico Maggiore; - Piazza San Gaetano; - San Lorenzo; - San Paolo Maggiore; - Naples Cathedral; - Santa Chiara. The precise route may vary according to accessibility and operational conditions on the day. ## Spaccanapoli One of the most characteristic parts of the tour is **Spaccanapoli**, the long street axis that appears to divide the historic centre into two parts. Walking along this route provides an excellent introduction to Naples, with churches, historic palaces, narrow streets, shops and small squares appearing one after another. Much of the city's Greek and Roman urban structure can still be recognized in the layout of the modern historic centre. ## Sansevero Chapel The highlight of the experience is the **Sansevero Chapel**, one of Naples' most remarkable artistic sites. The chapel is closely associated with **Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero**, and contains an extraordinary collection of eighteenth-century sculpture and decoration. The most famous work is Giuseppe Sanmartino's **Veiled Christ**. **[Check dates and availability for the Naples walking tour](https://www.tiqets.com/en/naples-attractions-c71720/tickets-for-naples-walking-tour-with-sansevero-chapel-the-veiled-christ-p978183/?partner=vesuvio)** ## The Veiled Christ Created by **Giuseppe Sanmartino in 1753**, the Veiled Christ is one of the most celebrated sculptures in Naples. The figure of Christ lies beneath what appears to be an extremely delicate transparent veil. The extraordinary effect was created entirely in marble. The details of the face and body visible beneath the sculpted veil demonstrate the remarkable technical skill of the artist and have helped make the sculpture one of Naples' most famous works of art. ## Other works inside the Sansevero Chapel The Veiled Christ is not the only important work inside the chapel. The collection also includes remarkable sculptures and installations associated with the complex symbolic programme created by Raimondo di Sangro. Among the works visitors can discover are: - Modesty; - Disillusion; - the Anatomical Machines; - sculptures and funerary monuments connected with the Sansevero family. The guide helps place these works within their historical and artistic context. ## Can you take photographs inside the Sansevero Chapel? No. **Photography is not permitted inside the Sansevero Chapel.** Visitors should respect the rules of the museum throughout the visit. ## Cloister of Santa Chiara Depending on the booking option selected, the tour can also include admission to the **Cloister of Santa Chiara**. The cloister is particularly famous for its colourful eighteenth-century majolica decorations. Columns, benches and walls are covered with painted ceramic tiles showing: - landscapes; - scenes of everyday life; - decorative motifs; - plants and flowers. The peaceful cloister provides a striking contrast with the busy streets of central Naples. ## Is Santa Chiara always included? No. Admission to the **Cloister of Santa Chiara is included only when the corresponding option is selected**. Check the inclusions carefully during booking. The complete itinerary including both Santa Chiara and Sansevero Chapel is also unavailable on some dates and on Sunday afternoons. In these cases an alternative itinerary focusing on Sansevero Chapel may be offered. ## Group size The current maximum group size is approximately **30 participants**. This is a shared walking tour rather than a private visit. ## Are children allowed? Children can join the tour, but there is an important practical restriction: **strollers are not permitted inside the Sansevero Chapel or the Cloister of Santa Chiara.** If travelling with a very young child, use a baby carrier instead. ## Are animals allowed? Animals are not permitted inside: - Sansevero Chapel; - Cloister of Santa Chiara. Take this into consideration before booking the tour. ## What should you wear? This is a walking tour through the historic centre, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Wear: - comfortable walking shoes; - clothing appropriate for the season; - sun protection in summer; - weather protection when necessary. Naples' historic streets contain uneven paving in several areas. ## Can you combine this tour with Naples Underground? Yes. Naples Underground is located nearby in the historic centre and can be combined with this tour on the same day if the booking times are compatible. For more information: **[Naples Underground: Skip-the-Line Ticket + Guided Tour](https://www.vesuvionline.net/en/naples/tickets-for-underground-naples)** ## Sansevero Chapel or Naples Underground? The two experiences are very different. ### Sansevero Chapel and historic centre Choose this tour if you are most interested in: - art; - sculpture; - churches; - Naples' historic streets; - the Veiled Christ; - the artistic heritage of the city centre. ### Naples Underground Choose Naples Underground if you prefer: - archaeology; - ancient tunnels; - aqueducts; - Roman remains; - underground history. If you have enough time, the two tours complement each other particularly well. ## Can you visit the Sansevero Chapel independently? Yes, Sansevero Chapel can also be visited with a separate entrance ticket. This particular experience, however, combines admission with a guided walk through the historic centre, making it more suitable for visitors who want a broader introduction to Naples rather than only the chapel. ## Cancellation and rescheduling The current booking conditions allow: - **free cancellation up to 24 hours before the visit** for a full refund; - **rescheduling up to 24 hours before the visit**. Always check the final booking conditions before completing your purchase. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is admission to Sansevero Chapel included? Yes. ### Will I see the Veiled Christ? Yes.
