Such beautiful works—I wonder how they were created with the tools of that time. Time just flies by as you look at them, and it’s like taking a trip back in time—it’s beautiful.

It was a moving visit to see the Veiled Christ, and the information on the electronic panels was very comprehensive. My friends and I also really enjoyed the tour of the underground section, which features a reproduction of our circulatory system in the two figures—one male and one female—created nearly three centuries ago. I would definitely recommend this visit to others. The ticket price is well worth it.

Enter the Sansevero Chapel at your reserved time and see the Veiled Christ, one of Naples’ most closely observed marble sculptures.

Examine Giuseppe Sanmartino’s lifelike carving, from the transparent-looking shroud to the details of Christ’s face and body beneath it.

Explore the chapel’s sculptures, symbols, and funerary monuments commissioned by the inventor and alchemist Prince Raimondo di Sangro.

See the Anatomical Machines, two preserved skeletal displays surrounded by intricate models of the human circulatory system.

Upgrade to an English guided tour for expert storytelling, or add an audio guide to explore independently with added context.

Unique! Unforgettable! Do not skip if you go to Napoli! Very beautiful, impressive, I've never had such a sensation in any other place

Step inside a small Baroque chapel where marble appears weightless, scientific curiosity meets religious symbolism, and every detail rewards a closer look.

Sansevero Chapel Museum

What to expect

The Sansevero Chapel was transformed in the 18th century by Prince Raimondo di Sangro into a family memorial filled with elaborate sculptures, coded imagery, and experimental ideas.

Veiled Christ: Stand before Giuseppe Sanmartino’s marble sculpture and examine how the carved veil appears to cling to Christ’s body while remaining part of the same block of stone.

Disillusion: See Francesco Queirolo’s sculpture of a man freeing himself from a finely carved net, an allegory associated with knowledge and liberation.

Modesty: Admire Antonio Corradini’s veiled figure, created as a memorial to Raimondo di Sangro’s mother.

Anatomical Machines: View the male and female skeletons accompanied by detailed representations of veins, arteries, and internal circulation.

Symbolic interior: Look across the chapel’s floor, ceiling, monuments, and decorative details while uncovering themes of virtue, mortality, and enlightenment.

Audio guide upgrade: Listen to recorded commentary as you move through the chapel at your own pace.

Guided tour upgrade: Join an English-speaking guide for a structured visit connecting the artworks to the life, experiments, and legends of Prince Raimondo di Sangro.
