Tesoro di San Gennaro

Visit the Treasure of San Gennaro with Campania>Artecard, a unique tour that tells the story which binds the city of Naples to its patron saint.

The Chapel of San Gennaro and the Treasure showcase the history of Naples, its millenary civilisation, popular culture and devotion to the Patron Saint. In addition to the Relics, the Treasure houses a priceless heritage of objects of worship and devotion crafted in gold, silver, bronze, and precious stones. Over the centuries, these riches have been donated to St. Gennaro by members of the Deputation of the Royal Chapel of the Treasure of St. Gennaro, by Neapolitan and foreign rulers who have reigned or visited Naples, by popes, and by the people.

The Chapel and Sacristies are also among the most important monuments of the Neapolitan Baroque.
