Cath\u00e9drale de Naples<\/p><\/div>\n

The Cathedral of Naples<\/strong>, built between the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century, dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, is especially famous for the relics of Saint Gennaro<\/strong>, saint patron of the city, which are preserved there. It is also designated as Duomo San Gennaro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The contemporary cathedral<\/h2>\n

San Gennaro Cathedral<\/strong> was built from 1294 to 1323, by Charles I of Anjou<\/strong>, on the site of a cathedral basilica, St. Stephanie, dating from the sixth century.<\/p>\n

An earthquake severely damaged the cathedral in 1349. It was also bombed in 1943.
\nIts neogothic fa\u00e7ade dates back to 1876 and retains 15th century portals by Antonio Baboccio.<\/p>\n

The Gothic interior, with three naves separated by ancient columns, has the tombs of illustrious people such as Saint Aspreno, the first bishop of the city.
\nThe left nave leads to the early Christian Santa Restitua basilica<\/strong>, built in the IV-Vth century, and the San Giovanni in Fonte<\/strong> baptistery built a century later.<\/p>\n

The Baroque San Gennaro Chapel<\/strong> is decorated with paintings by Lanfranco and Domenichino. It houses the relic of the skull of San Gennaro and blisters of its coagulated blood.
\nThe Minutolo Chapel<\/strong> has retained its original Gothic architecture and decoration, with a mosaic pavement and 13th century frescoes by Montano d’Arrezo.<\/p>\n

The crypt of Succorpo<\/strong>, built from 1497 under the apse to accommodate the relics of San Gennaro houses Renaissance statues of Tommaso Malvito and busts of the sixteen first bishops of Naples.<\/p>\n
