Museo Cappela Sansevero

Nestled within the historic center of Naples, Italy, the Museo Cappella Sansevero stands as a testament to the intersection of art, history, and mystery. 

The Museo Cappella Sansevero, also known as the Sansevero Chapel, is a cultural gem renowned for its captivating sculptures, religious art, and rich historical significance. Originally commissioned by Prince Raimondo di Sangro in the 18th century, the chapel is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and serves as a showcase for the artistic talents of renowned sculptors and craftsmen.

Discovering the Highlights

• The Veiled Christ. The pièce de résistance of Museo Cappella Sansevero, Giuseppe Sanmartino’s “Veiled Christ,” is a breathtaking sculpture depicting the body of Christ shrouded in a delicate veil. The realism and intricacy of this masterpiece continue to astonish visitors, inviting contemplation and awe.
• Anatomical Machines. Descend into the underground chamber to behold the anatomical machines—a collection of preserved human circulatory systems. While the origin of these specimens remains shrouded in myth and mystery, their intricate detail and scientific significance offer a fascinating glimpse into the past.

• Disillusion” by Francesco Queirolo. This sculpture, dedicated to Prince Raimondo’s father, Antonio di Sangro, captivates viewers with its intricate marble network and thematic exploration of enlightenment and redemption. Symbolism abounds in this remarkable work of late Baroque artistry.
• Exploring the Chapel. Explore the chapel’s ornate interior, decorated with frescoes, statues, and symbols that hold deep religious and esoteric meanings. Each corner reveals new wonders, from the tomb of Raimondo di Sangro to the symbolic labyrinth embedded in the floor.
