Let yourself be guided into the beating heart of a city that never ceases to amaze. The journey starts from Piazza Dante, crossing the magical threshold of Port’Alba to immerse ourselves in the decumanus of Spaccanapoli, the millennial artery where the oldest soul of the metropolis beats.
We will cross history between the solemn silence of the royal tombs in the Santa Chiara Complex and the magnetic energy of the New Jesus, a Baroque masterpiece that hides secrets still indecipherable. From the intellectual liveliness of Piazza Bellini to the treasures of San Domenico Maggiore, where the footsteps of St. Thomas, Giotto and Boccaccio still resonate, you will be a few meters from the absolute mystery of the Veiled Christ.
We will walk among the immortal art of nativity scenes in San Gregorio Armeno and the majestic statue of the Corps of Naples, before entering into thrilling tales: we will discover the church that is said to hold the tomb of Count Dracula and pass under the windows where Pino Daniele began to dream of his music.
