WHAT YOU VISIT
Capodimonte Museum
The grand pink-and-gray palace built in 1738 as a hunting lodge for Charles II is acclaimed as southern Italy's largest and richest art gallery with a collection that includes works by Botticelli, Caravaggio, Titian and Andy Warhol.

Naples' Historical Center
A leisurely stroll through this acclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site is an education in architecture from ancient to medieval times to the Baroque period. Among the magnificent sites you'll walk past includes the 15th century Chiesa del Gesu Nuovo, considered one of the city's finest examples of Renaissance architecture and the Church of Santa Chiara, one of the city's largest and most important churches.

Pio Monte della Misericordia
Built in 1601 by Neapolitan nobles, the church is home to contemporary artworks by Italian and foreign artists but the star attraction is Caravaggio's 'Seven Works of Mercy,' an oil painting that dates back to 1607.
