I think there are 400+ working churches in Naples - and many of them are Baroque delights - but to me sitting in the centre of the centro storico this was by far the most beautiful - the icing on the cake and if you visit only one then this would be my choice - even over the Duomo. Many other churches appeared to take top billing in the guides but I went to all of them and this was my personal favorite!
Beautiful baroque church with a lot of beautiful Details and Located in the center of the city. Btw it's close in the middle of the day
I was on a walking tour around the tourist area of Naples when my lady guide bought me here. I walked in and heard myself say out loud, "Oh my God!" No, I am not a religious person. It was just breath taking. I slowly started to have a careful look around, but my guide kept pulling my elbow and telling me to hurry up because we had lots more to see and we were running out of time. I ignored her.However, after a reasonable look, she pulled me outside. I was saying to myself, "I have to come back." But because I was robbed in Naples I never had the chance.So recently I did return and see just why I had to return. My first impression was of the huge columns of pink and white marble - it made the place look like a fortress. I walked every where and studied the detail, but I had to stand at the back of the church because it is there that the major effect is experienced.. It is just that the whole picture is one and the whole effect is just perfect. That's all I can say; except that I am really glad that I did return - I had to find out why I had to. Now I know.Brian, from Perth W. Australia.
It was our first full day in Napoli and I decided I wanted to spend it in Spaccanapoli. This was the first church we entered. It was impressive, and free. There were nuns and others praying in the various chapels. People would walk past them to view the chapels and to take pictures. It felt a little sacriligious at first doing so, but I soon became accustomed to this during my trip.
Enjoyed the understated stain glass within this church. They also had plaques that were displayed that showed the various healing miracles that had been performed for individuals. Interesting.
The church is amazing, each and every detail touches artistic perfection. Multi colored marble, statues, everything is beautiful
We went in on our way to another attraction and were blown away by the interior of this place. Astounding craft in all aspects of the arts on display.
顺着人流而走,不知不觉来到了新耶稣教会新耶稣教会 Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo 新耶稣教会的历史可以追溯到16世纪,是那不勒斯最宏伟的文艺复兴式建筑。教堂外观是金字塔形状的琢石,3位那不勒斯巴洛克时期的艺术家凡扎戈(Cosimo Fanzago, 1591-1678)、卢卡•焦尔达诺和索利梅纳(Francesco Solimena, 1657-1747)在这里留下了杰出的作品。开放时间:6:45-13:00&16:00-19:30由于时间不是十分充足,因此就没有进去参观了。看着GPS,走着那不勒斯小路去旅馆拿行李,要回罗马了photo=385.jpeg>tips:那不勒斯的纪念品相对比较便宜,例如冰箱贴,在positano那边买的话要2欧-3欧,但是在那不勒斯买的话则统一1欧搞掂。如果只是想买些小纪念品群发,可以考虑在这里购买,哈哈。
This was a wonderful surprise as from the outside it didn't look like a church or cathedral at all. As we later read it was indeed a palace which later was turned into a church. We then went inside and were stunned. It was so beautiful that it took our breath away. We sat and soaked the atmosphere even though we are not religious at all. Another great thing about it was that unlike most places in Naples it was free for all. Very recommended.
This church has some unique architectural designs. The inside is beatiful Neopolitan Baroque. One special feature of this place is a statue and exhibit of St. Moscati (1880-1927), a Christian doctor famous for helping the poor and the first modern doctor to be canonized. You will see hundreads of plaques of appreciation for prayers answered with the help of St. Moscati, each with a symbol of a particular ailment cured. The church is just a couple of blocks from Piazza Dante and right on the Spaccanapoli. So it is very convenient to visit and is free. It would be good to spend 30 minutes to an hour there. But even if you have only 15 minutes, it would be worthwhile.
