Naples, a city rich in history, art and culture, once the beating heart of the Mediterranean economy, is waiting for you to give you a unique experience. Accompanied by a guide specialized in Neapolitan history, you will start your journey from Piazza Bellini, today the nerve center of Neapolitan nightlife. Following in the footsteps of the ancient Decumano Major, known as Via dei Tribunali, you will head towards the historic Conservatory of Naples. Accompanied by the musical notes of the rehearsals of young students, you will walk along the Decumano Maggiore, along which you will find the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore alla Pietrasanta characterized, inside, by the Pontano Chapel, jewel of the Neapolitan Renaissance and outside, by the presence of a suggestive Roman bell tower. You cannot miss the Hypogeum of the Church of Santa Maria delle Anime del Purgatorio ad Arco, custodian of one of the oldest cults of Neapolitan devotion. You will relive all the historical periods that have crossed and formed the present city of Naples, passing by the monumental Church of San Lorenzo Maggiore, built in the Angevine era, which still preserves the early Christian foundations. The next stop of your itinerary will be the Cathedral of Naples. Its imposing and its artistic beauty with a late Gothic architectural taste, will leave you speechless. You will walk down the stairs and enter the church, where you will find a coffered ceiling embellished with gold ornaments and Baroque frescoes. Among all the art treasures and reliquaries preserved, you can visit the chapel dedicated to San Gennaro, which houses the precious ampoule containing the relic of the blood of San Gennaro, patron and protector of the city. You will end your itinerary by entering Spaccanapoli, away from the thousand colors and scents, until you reach the wonderful Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, the last stop of the tour.
