The famous charterhouse, which was built during
the Angevin Kingdom, was transformed into one of the most impressive
museums, which testifies the magnificency of the neapolitan baroque
fashion.
Close to the ancient complex there is the renowned San Martino's Church, one of the most charming ones in Naples. Rich with baroque marble mosaics, the gothic building is embellished by frescoes, sculptures and paintings. The museum houses many marble statues, ancient maps of the town and its surroundings, 19th century Neapolitan art, a crèche section and decorative art collections. The visit can be combined with a tour of the nearby Sant'Elmo Castle, well known for its star shape and its panoramic terraces from which the entire bay of Naples and its surroundings are visible.
