Highlights at this 13th-century church include frescoes by Pietro Cavallini.

This 14th-century church has no façade of its own but is reached by a double staircase through a courtyard to the left of the Chapel of Santa Monica. Inside are a circular chapel with 15th-century frescoes and basreliefs by Spanish masters Bartolomé Ordoñez and Diego de Siloe.

This church is best known for the cult of St Patricia, whose blood “liquefies” each Tuesday.

After World War II bombs reduced much of this church to rubble, it was rebuilt to its 13th-century style, save the Baroque façade.

The 8th-century church still retains two Corinthian columns and has an annexed sanctuary.

Built in the 1300s, San Pietro underwent a Baroque makeover in the 1600s then was returned to Gothic style in the 1900s.

This subterranean club is a thriving student hangout – expect a permanent cloud of smoke over the tiny space. Live bands from Italy and around Europe occasionally take to the stage.

Few spaces are decorated with such unity as this family chapel. The credit goes to its designer, the eccentric 18th-century prince Raimondo di Sangro. Full of allegorical symbolism, the statuary are among Naples’ most famous, particularly the “veiled” figures of Christ and Modesty.

The façade of this structure, rebuilt after World War II, is like a huge cliff of buff-coloured tufa, relieved only by its portico and giant rose window. Only the base of its 14th-century bell-tower is original. Inside the decor has been returned to its Gothic origins, since all the Baroque embellishment was destroyed in wartime bombings. The tomb of Robert of Anjou is the largest funerary monument of medieval Italy, and behind this is the delightful tiled cloister.
