Naples is the third-largest city of Italy after Rome and Milan and one of the most densely populated cities in Europe. First settled by Greeks in the second millennium BC, Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas in the world. In the 6th century BC, it was refounded as Neápolis. Naples' historic city centre is the largest in Europe and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Pizza was invented here but the restaurants in Naples have earned the most stars from the Michelin Guide of any Italian city. People awarded the honorary citizenship of Naples are: Sophia Loren & Diego Maradona. When Maradona arrived in Naples, they won the Italian and European titles for the first time. Maradona’s photo was hung next to Jesus in half of the homes of Naples. Naples is a real raw working city, a place with fascinating art and viewpoints, spontaneous conversations and unexpected, pleasant attitude. Naples has an enormous wealth of cultural treasures. You will find two royal palaces, three castles and ancient ruins with some of the oldest frescoes of Christianity. The old looming Church of Santa Chiara in the heart of Naples is well worth a break in your day. Built between 1313 and 1340, this Provençal – Gothic structure is a religious complex that includes a Franciscan monastery, tombs, an archaeological museum and a very unusual cloister garden. If you can work your way through the busy Piazza del Gesu just outside the doors, you will be well rewarded. The real treasure of Santa Chiara is the secret garden tucked away behind the walls.

Santa Chiara is a religious complex in Naples, Italy, that includes the Church of Santa Chiara, a monastery, tombs and an archeological museum. The monastery dating back to the 1300s. The cloister is a beautiful example of Medieval architecture in Napoli. Frescoes on the walls around the cloister with majolica decorations. In this enclosed courtyard with plants, columns, and benches is a delightful spot of tranquility in the middle of the city. Spend some time gazing at the different painted decorations and enjoy the peacefulness. It's still a spiritual center for monks and the women of the order of the St. Claires. The photographer takes pictures, even in the rain, of the beautiful Majolica tiles decorate the octagonal columns in a pergola-like design. Impetuous colored floral decor climbs up the sides and along the bench-lined walkways. Benches contain tiles that depict life scenes of boar hunting, dancing, country life, scroll work, and grapevines.

Napels is na Rome en Milaan de derde stad van Italië en een van de dichtstbevolkte steden van Europa. Napels, voor het eerst bewoond door Grieken in het tweede millennium voor Christus. Het historische stadscentrum van Napels is het grootste van Europa en staat op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. De pizza is uitgevonden in Napels, maar de restaurants in Napels hebben de meeste sterren verdiend in de Michelin-gids van elke Italiaanse stad. Mensen die het ereburgerschap van Napels hebben toegekend zijn: Sophia Loren & Diego Maradona. Napels is een echte rauwe werkstad, een plek met fascinerende kunst en uitzichtpunten, spontane gesprekken en onverwachte, prettige instelling. Santa Chiara is een religieus complex in Napels, Italië, dat de kerk van Santa Chiara, een klooster, graven en een archeologisch museum omvat. Het klooster dateert uit de jaren 1300. Het klooster zou zowel monniken als nonnen in twee afzonderlijke gebouwen onderbrengen, maar tegelijkertijd afhankelijk van dezelfde kerk. De kerk werd vervolgens gebouwd in een eenvoudige gotische stijl. Het klooster is een prachtig voorbeeld van middeleeuwse architectuur in Napels. Op de afgesloten binnenplaats met planten, zuilen en banken is het heerlijk vertoeven midden in de stad. Een fotograaf maakt opnames zelfs in de regen, van de prachtige Majolica-tegels op de achthoekige kolommen. Een doorlopend gekleurd bloemendecor klimt langs de zijkanten en langs de met banken omzoomde looppaden. Banken bevatten tegels met levensscènes van de jacht op zwijnen, dansen, het plattelandsleven en wijnstokken. Het is nog steeds een spiritueel centrum voor monniken en de vrouwen van de orde van St. Claires. Leuk om monniken tijdens het mediteren door het klooster te zien lopen.
