    Santa Chiara
    From the 1300s on, this church has been a favourite for Neapolitans, and was patronized by the powerful House of Anjou. Heartbreakingly, it was damaged by Second World War bombers, but has been almost fully restored. Several remnants remain, including Giotto's depiction of the Crucifixion.

    Il Duomo Naples
    Built where there was once a temple to the god of Neptune, the original 1272 building was largely destroyed by a 1456 earthquake. Since then, the Duomo has undergone many transformations, but its value for the city's native population does not lie in its structure. Three vials of Naples'patron saint, San Gennaro's, blood are stored in one of the chapels, and are brought out ceremoniously three times a year for Neapolitans to pray for the safety of their city. If successful, faithful believe the blood will liquify.
