    Very nice Cathedral in Napoli. We accidentally came across this place when we were trying to find a place to escape from the heat. You can enter for free. The alter was really beautiful and the dome was really nicely painted. I would recommend paying a visit if you are in Napoli.

    The cathedral is located in a street close to Market Street. You will be treated to some wonderful frescoes, beautiful interiors and chapels. Chapel of San Gennaro is one of the attractions inside the cathedral. The church houses a vial of the blood of Saint Januarius, which is brought out three times a year, on the first Saturday in May, on 19 September and 16 December, when the dried blood usually liquefies

    A massive cathedral that is hidden away in the city. You can feel the peace just stepping through the doors. Make sure to take off your hat and wash your hands as you step in side this piece of history. They still hold mass today. It's a treasure for sure.

    Very beautiful church, popped in while passing, apparently they were just closing mid afternoon, apparently this was announced via tannoy and we did not hear what was said, after all we'd just entered and were finding our bearing and awe struck at the beauty of it. We got shouted at for not hearing the announcement and a further grilling whilst leaving and apologizing. Like most of the residents of Naples, they were very rude!

    Gorgeous cathedral. The entry is free and they allow you to visit the underground hall and a few other halls filled with history and beautiful sculptures.

    This is the definitive church in Naples. The marble and the artwork are very special. When walking through you get the feeling that it hasn't changed in a couple of hundred years. Suggestion - do this with a guide - you will get much more out of the vie

    Historic church and like most churches in Napoli it’s free to enter. However if you want to see more there is a small fee. They also have public bathrooms which was handy to know.

    The most famous landmark of Naples. A must-see place. The church is so beautiful from outside, inside, ceiling, wall, and everything. You can literally spend all day looking at everything. The day we visited was a nice sunny day. The sunlight came through the well-designed high windows and covered one side of the church with golden light. It creates such peaceful and blessed atmosphere inside the church. Most items have signs described in English, some of them do not. You can use a translation app to help.

  • 5/5 Adam C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best places to visit Naples. Firstly it's free entry, but in terms of the various churches in Naples, it has to be one of the grandest. When we visited it wasn't too busy either.

  • 4/5 Kassandra F. 1 year ago on Google
    For all the Cathedrals I've visited, this is by far one of the best. It is free entry, and so extravagant. Although I was told that you had to dress respectfully (shoulders and knees covered) this wasn't respected here? No hats to be worn in the Cathedral, and masks are optional, but it is a wonderful place to get hit with the full force of Catholicism.

    Big church with incredible sculptures and pretty mind blowing 3D roof paintings. the blood thing is silly though. If true why don’t they check everyday? People would come see how “solid” it is everyday if they did...

    Creating harmony between different architectural styles is exemplified in the Naples Cathedral. For me, seeing this beautiful church was a fantastic experience. The building is a part of the city's artistic, cultural, and historical heritage. Well worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Andreas W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cathedral close to the Main Street in Naples. Apart from the main part which is already impressive the side areas are also worth a visit. Don’t forget to walk all the way to the left end of the one on your left (upon entering) for a wonderful display (see attached pictures)

    We visited Duomo di Napoli this past week. A beautiful cathedral with amazing architecture, statues and paintings. Stunning alters. Huge and a must see when visiting Naples. It is free to enter.

  • 5/5 Vincenzo C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) An evocative place, I walked looking at every little construction detail, I wondered how they managed to do it that way with the construction techniques of the time (like many build in antiquity) an architecture full of ornaments, holy images, wonderful. (Original) Luogo suggestivo,camminavo guardando ogni piccolo particolare costruttivo, mi chiedevo come hanno fatto a farla in quel modo con le tecniche costruttive di allora(come tante costruire nell' antichità)un architettura piena di ornamenti,immagini sante,stupendo.

    This is truly a sanctuary....having dodgeballed Napoli's poop infested streets, we took shelter in this cathedral for quite some time..absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Laloena A. 5 months ago on Google • 142 reviews
    The architecture of the cathedral is stunning, and the intricate details inside are breathtaking. It's a must-visit if you're in Naples. Loved exploring the history and beauty of this iconic landmark.

  • 5/5 Giulio M. 8 months ago on Google • 87 reviews
    Wonderful Cathedral, history exuding, it is for enyone to visit this spendid architecture in the heart of Naples Historic centre. Busy roads populated by global tourists, narrow pavements but an excellent subway system to get to any place in the city.

  • 5/5 Ali E. 2 years ago on Google
    Breathtaking! Go and experience!

  • 4/5 Jamie H. 2 years ago on Google
    Some impressive, very early paeolo Christian ceiling mosaics and some frescoes. Then your usual enormous cathedral. Impressive collection of relics.

  • 5/5 Fleur F. 2 years ago on Google
    This cathedral is insane. I mean it puts other churches to shame. After seeing this one you are probably ruined for most of the churches in Naples because it is so beautiful. I can understand why people saw this back in the time and were believers.

  • 5/5 Mertkan M. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a very impressive cathedral in the heart of Naples. If you like to visit cathedrals, this place is one of the best in Naples. If you are traveling for tourism purposes, they also have a tourist guide service if you would like to benefit from. Highly recommended place to see and experience.

  • 4/5 Connor K. 2 years ago on Google
    Just stopped by the here on my way around Naples. Free to enter and a nice calm places to visit.

  • 4/5 Petr S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cathedral, most important in Naples. Free entrance.

  • 5/5 Jaime S. 2 years ago on Google
    Expendida .

  • 5/5 Annelies 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing building! Mostly free entrance, but in some parts you have to pay (a small amount). Shoulders need to be covered, they offer capes for a small price (of your choice).

  • 5/5 Marko �. 2 years ago on Google
    Stunning beauty with a sense of tranquility as soon as younenter its numerous frescas.

  • 5/5 rocco s. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The triumph of the Baroque. So full of details that it does not allow the rest of the eye that observes them. Not to be missed. (Original) Il trionfo del Barocco. Cosi piena di particolari da non permettere il riposo dell'occhio che li osserva. Da non perdere.

  • 5/5 Phoebe F. 1 year ago on Google
    Was a truly beautiful building. Lot of art with amazing ceiling. Definitely worth the time to look at, not particularly busy and free.

  • 5/5 Ann F. 2 years ago on Google
    A stunning cathedral in Rione Sanità. Whilst you are waiting for your tour in the Catacombs, you can happily fill your time here

  • 5/5 Bjorn 2 years ago on Google
    We are not particularly enthusiastic about churches or cathedrals but this one is probably the nicest we have seen! Lot of impressive work inside! And they don’t even charge income!

  • 5/5 Elena N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Duomo. Classic. For believers. (Original) Duomo . Classico. Per credenti.

  • 1/5 MarceloMar31 1 year ago on Google
    The church is important for all the relics that hold but let me tell you that before going in, all is dirty and non maintenance is done for such a place; city super dirty, arriving to the church homeless sleeping around, smelling of urine, kid with motorcycle playing in front of the church( the police do not give A F), inside dirty again (come on! not need too much to matein and give a good presentation) to such important church, vice air inside and so on. Any way is tuned with the city dirty everywhere and nobody gives A F ! What a pity shame on you napolitanos..

  • 5/5 Leo L. 8 months ago on Google
    Very beautiful Cathedral, the lighting from the yellow tainted glasses were very impressive and so were the decorative details.

  • 5/5 Isabella B. 10 months ago on Google
    Stunning cathedral (namely all the paintings in the ceilings). It feels holly and charming and most of it is free. Worth seeing the cript which is just one flight of stairs down

  • 5/5 Islam S. 11 months ago on Google
    Great architecture for nearly eight hundred year old building.

  • 5/5 Lay S. 11 months ago on Google
    An extraordinary holy place. It felt sacred to me as I sat silenty in awe of how it all felt to be there. I'm so glad I stepped in to look. One of my favorite finds, strolling around the city. Free to enter.

  • 5/5 Donna L. 11 months ago on Google
    The Naples Cathedral is absolutely stunning! So much art, sculptures, and beautiful floors. If you get to Naples, you must see this.

  • 4/5 Vladimir N. 1 year ago on Google
    We've visited quite many churches and cathedrals in Italy and they are all impressive, even these in small villages. We were disappointed to find out that the Cathedral in Naples was not well preserved, with faded colours and damp smell. The entrance is free of charge.

  • 5/5 Mircea-Bogdan T. 1 year ago on Google
    Mostly baroque but in some parts you may see things from the 14th century. Special note for the St.Genaro crypt and the Baptisserium.

  • 5/5 Ysabella E. 1 year ago on Google
    Really unique church with rich history. Just please be mindful when visiting. I'm not religious but I can respect that this is a religious site and adhere to the rules while still enjoying the space.

  • 5/5 Viktor V. 2 years ago on Google
    When you are in Il Duomo you have to visit Capella Di San Gennaro with Story about him and his blood and Basilica Di S. Restituta, extra paying but it worth for it

  • 5/5 Rene T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice cathedral to visit. Beautiful wall paintings and a very nice ceiling! Most beautiful part was the dome, it holds 2 layers and you can look outside. Don't forget to go in the crypt, nice to see. Only downside are the rovers outside the cathedral, not really friendly to watch.....

  • 5/5 Tristan.V 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful cathedral, recommended for everyone to visit! (Free entry.)

  • 5/5 Georgi O. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing renaissance architecture with manneristic elements. Cathedral is not only for prayers, it has also museum, information and education center, treasury, library and amator choir.

  • 5/5 Sam L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing cathedral with beautiful statues. There is also an adjoining museum which you can visit.

  • 5/5 Olga B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best places to visit in Naples. Essential. I recommend to visit while there’s natural light because the lighting in the city is not too good. Also you’ll find the crypt of Saint Genaro open which is a must see as well. All for free.

  • 5/5 NIkos M. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are in Napoli you should definitely go see the cathedral of Napoli, it's one of the most beautiful places to see in town right in the historical center of Napoli!!!

  • 5/5 George G. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the biggest and most important church in Naples. We also saw the miracle with blood of San Gennaro. You should take a walk here, in a some-day visit in Naples.

  • 5/5 Riccardo C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Place of great spiritual, historical and cultural intensity. You have to enter and let yourself be carried away by emotions. Observing, listening is only at the end studying the place. Everyone will find their answers. If the National Archaeological Museum preserves the history of Naples, the cathedral is its beating heart. (Original) Luogo di grande intensità spirituale, storica e culturale. Bisogna entrare e lasciarsi trasportare dalle emozioni. Osservare, ascoltare è solo alla fine studiare il luogo. Ognuno troverà le sue risposte. Se il Museo archeologico nazionale custodisce la storia di Napoli, il duomo ne è il cuore pulsante.

    If you like churches then this is for you.. It's humungus, biggest church / cathedral I've ever been in. Quite spectacular inside after walking down a mundane street

  • 5/5 adam P. 4 years ago on Google
    As I entered this church and saw the altar with the light shining through I felt as close to God as I was ever going to get and I'm an atheist. Beautiful building I could spend hours in here and still come back the next day , they say you should see Naples before you die , you should see this church before too. Come in the side entrance for an even more overwhelming experience.

    (Translated by Google) The Cathedral of Naples, or Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, is a place rich in art, history, culture and devotion. It is the place where the ampoule with the blood of San Gennaro is kept. And it is the place where, twice a year, the miracle of liquefaction occurs. The church of Santa Restituta, with the oldest Baptistery in the Western world, and the museum of the Treasure of San Gennaro are incorporated into the Cathedral. If you are in Naples, among a thousand other things, do not miss the opportunity to visit the Duomo and its many treasures. (Original) Il Duomo di Napoli, o Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, è un luogo ricco di arte, storia, cultura e devozione. È il luogo nel quale è conservata l'ampolla con il sangue di San Gennaro. Ed è il luogo nel quale, due volte l'anno, si manifesta il miracolo della liquefazione. Nella Cattedrale sono inglobate la chiesa di Santa Restituta, con il Battistero più antico del mondo occidentale, e il museo del Tesoro di San Gennaro. Se siete a Napoli, tra le mille altre cose, non perdete l'occasione di visitare il Duomo e i suoi tanti tesori.
