Church of Santa Chiara

A work in progress over many centuries, this church is part of the wider Santa Chiara religious complex.

The Church and Monastery of Santa Chiara form one of Naples’ most remarkable religious complexes, combining medieval architecture with later Baroque and Neoclassical touches. Famous for its serene cloister decorated with hand-painted majolica tiles, the complex offers a peaceful escape from the city’s bustle. Inside, the basilica houses royal tombs, frescoes, and centuries of history tied to the Angevin and Bourbon dynasties. Santa Chiara is a place where art, faith, and tranquility come together in the heart of the historic center.
