A combination of architectural layers realized over time outlines the massive San Lorenzo Maggiore Basilica, built upon greek-roman remains, now restored and open to the public through the inner cloister.
Along Spaccanapoli the visitor can visit the Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo, with its unique façade obtained by a 15th century palace and marble decorations and paintings inside.
The S. Chiara Monastery, with the the simple lines characteristic of the Franciscan churches, hedges in the royal tombs and the Chiostro delle Clarisse, with an unusual decoration entirely made with multi-coloured majolica depicting the colours of the land. Majestic as a cathedral and filled with art pieces is the church of San Domenico Maggiore, another interesting example of the peculiar artistic heritage of the city of Napoli.
