Santa Chiara

Fodor's Review:

This monastery church is a Neapolitan landmark and the subject of a famous old song. It was built in the 1300s in Provençal Gothic style, and it's best known for the quiet charm of its cloister garden, with columns and benches sheathed in 18th-century ceramic tiles painted with delicate floral motifs and vivid landscapes. An adjoining museum traces the history of the convent; the entrance is off the courtyard at the left of the church.

  • Cost: Museum and cloister EUR 4
  • Open: Church: daily 7-noon and 4:30-6:30. Museum and cloister: Mon.-Sat. 9:30-7, Sun. 9:30-1
