SANTA CHIARA CHURCH - NAPLES, ITALY

Santa Chiara Church  

The austere Gothic church "Santa Chiara" was built by order of Robert the Wise for his wife Sancia as a court chapel around 1310. The architect followed the strict rules of Franciscan poverty: only one aisle with 10 chapels on each side. Even now its very simplicity is its most inspiring feature.

 

The most interesting monuments are the tombs of the Angevin monarchs.

The peaceful cloister adds further charm with its majolica-tiled pathways meander through a wild and beautiful garden of roses and fruit trees.

 

You'll leave with fond memories that will last a life time.
