Have you ever seen many diamonds, rubies and emeralds?
Do you believe that a jewels was so precious to save the life of a king?
Do you know that pairs of earrings are the symbol against the plague? Would you feel protected by 54 Saints?
You have to go in the Museum of the Treasure of St. Januarius that is more precious than Queen Elizabeth’s treasure. The treasure of St. Januarius has been saved by the Deputation for many centuries.
The Chapel of Neapolitan people
It is in the cathedral but it does not belong to the Church. The Royal chapel is independent. There are many paintings, silver busts, the relics of the Saint patron of the town and it is a baroque masterpiece. Besides, it has a wonderful acoustics and it was the second conservatory in Naples. Unmissable.
St. Januarius and his miracle
St. Januarius is a special saint because , for Neapolitan people, he represents the hope, the devotion, the intimacy, the power and popular pride. Every year, the three dates of his miracle are inexplicable and also his history is mysterious and fascinating.
