This Tiny Chapel is Home to Some of the Greatest Marble Sculptures in History


Located in the heart of Naples’ historic district is Cappella Sansevero, a small chapel/museum that is home to some of the greatest marble sculptures ever carved.

Cappella Sansevero houses 28 works of art by many of the leading Italian artists of the 18th century. The chapel’s patron, Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero, played a prominent role in shaping the design, direction and themes of the works and chapel.
