Complesso Monumentale San Lorenzo Maggiore

Built in the French Gothic style, the Basilica of San Lorenzo was one of the first churches to be rebuilt after Naples was officially declared capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The basilica has just one large nave, an apse and 23 chapels containing stunning frescoes such as the one painted by Antonio Cavarretto, a pupil of Giotto. The complex includes the archaeological excavations of Greco-Roman Neapolis on which the basilica stands.
