Step by Step

The Sansevero Chapel, located in the heart of Naples, is a treasure of Baroque art that houses the famous sculpture of the Veiled Christ by the sculptor Giuseppe Sanmartino. This piece is world-renowned for the delicacy with which the marble veil covers the body of Christ, creating an impressive illusion of transparency and realism.

On this guided tour, an art history expert will reveal the secrets behind the creation of this masterpiece and the legends surrounding the chapel.

In addition to the Veiled Christ, you will explore other artistic gems of the chapel, such as the anatomical machines, two preserved human bodies with a surprisingly detailed system of veins and arteries. You will also discover the frescoes and sculptures that decorate the chapel, each with a fascinating story linked to the noble family of Raimondo di Sangro, prince of Sansevero.

    We had a great time with my family walking around and getting to know Naples with this tour. We saw beautiful places, and well, seeing the Veiled Christ was magnificent. It has almost unreal details, to think that it was made by hand blows my mind. I really enjoyed it all.
