Starting at Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, your local guide leads you through Naples' cultural heart. You'll visit the Church of Gesù Nuovo with its distinctive diamond-point façade, the peaceful cloister of Santa Chiara Basilica, and the imposing Naples Cathedral where you'll learn about the miracle of San Gennaro.
