Experts' Choice Award La Chiesa Di San Giovanni A Carbonara
What the experts agree on
Hidden gem atop dramatic steps with Renaissance sculptures and ornate chapels, including the stunning 1427 Caracciolo del Sole chapel. Worth seeking out despite being tucked away from main tourist routes.
“One of Naples's hidden gems and is likely to stay that way considering that it's rather hard to find.”
– Frommer's
