The place is absolutely stunning, every detail and reinterpretation of some biblical stories are unique, and the Veiled Christ is a real masterpiece. Please take the audio guide, it will open a whole new experience. If you just go there and look, you might be missing a lot of details, and yes, the place is indeed small, but worth every cent. ❤️

This is a true gem , baroque chapel, with a stunning sculpture of Sanmarino - veiled Chris. If you can see only one thing in Naples, this should be it! Buy make sure you buy tickets on line and do not skip mausoleum, you will be astonished by it! No photo allowed.

As beautiful as the Veiled Christ sculpture is, there is not much else to see. Sure the whole interior is magnificent, but you get such interiors in many places for free around Naples or Italy. And the tickets here are so overpriced as compared to other ones in the city. Also, bear in mind that taking pictures there is forbidden.

I've been fortunate enough to visit some majestic cathedrals and churches in my life and have gazed upon many of the masterpieces within them. However, the Veiled Christ is likely my favorite piece ever. After a visit with my children, I raved for years and one day convinced my wife to go. I could sense her hesitation as it's "just another religious carving". On the surface, that's certainly the case. After she visited, her tune changed and she agrees it's simply magnificent. The delicate features, gentle folds of the sheet, agony somehow conveyed through thick marble - all just utterly spectacular. The other carvings around are really quite impressive as well and the ceiling is just amazing. But everything pales in comparison to the Veiled Christ. It costs a few euros to get in and you can't take photographs, but don't miss out on this. It really is that wonderful.
