Certosa e Museo di San Martino
Vomero, Italy
The Certosa di San Martino combines a former monastery with a varied museum on the Vomero hill. Its church, cloisters and decorative work reveal the ambitions of Neapolitan Baroque art, while collections devoted to the city, maritime history and nativity scenes broaden the visit beyond religious architecture. The belvedere adds a welcome change of pace and a view across Naples. Allow enough time to move between the architectural spaces and museum sections, rather than coming only for a photograph from the terrace.
