Naples Walking Tour and Veiled Christ

This 3-hour guided tour will walk you through some of the greatest treasures that Naples has to offer. Placing special emphasis on the city’s heart, you’ll witness breathtaking architecture and phenomenal statues, including the famous Veiled Christ.

Spaccanapoli, a street that stretches for over a mile in a straight line, is host to several keystones of Naples’ incredible history – many more of which you’ll get to see up-close. Tickets to Sansevero Church, where the Veiled Christ lays, are included in the tour.

This Veiled Christ sculpture is a sight to behold, its design so intricate that – according to legend – people once believed that it could only have been made through alchemy. The transparent veil shrouding Christ is the source of these rumors – its constriction so vivid that one struggles to believe it was carved from harsh stone. And this is but one sight you will see on this grand tour of Naples.

First founded by the Greeks in the first millennium, Naples’ history is extensive. So extensive, in fact, that its city center has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Each one has a story to tell – from the beautiful Gothic church of San Domenico Maggiore, to the Piazza del Gesu – a public square with two incredible churches, and with the masterwork “Spire of the Immaculate Virgin” as its centerpiece.

Your guide will prove invaluable in these explorations, offering a degree of insight inaccessible to others. These structures, and so many more, will make their secrets known to you as you venture across the pristine streets of Naples from each wonderous site to the next.
