Naples Cathedral
Naples's cathedral gathers medieval fabric, early Christian remains and devotion to San Gennaro in one building. The chapels reward a slower look than the façade suggests.
The cathedral's layers explain why it matters beyond its role as the city's main church. The richly decorated Chapel of the Treasure of San Gennaro sits alongside traces of earlier basilicas and an early Christian baptistery. Moving between them is a compact lesson in the city's long religious history.
