Easy to access by taking the funicular railway from Montesanto station. It’s only a ten minute walk from Morghen and worth visiting. The highlight is definitely the Presepe Cuciniello which is stunning. The main courtyard has seen better days, but the views of the bay of Naples are fantastic.…

After long climb up the stairs thowards Castle of Sant Elmo I realized I have plenty of time and I decided to just see how much is the museum ticket. When entering the security guard said its free the day. So I decided why not must be a sign. It was well worth it. There were caridges, boats, ship models weapons and pieces of art that is so wowee to see. I am fan of the historic artifacts and being able to see the swords, pistols and so many other pieces of history gave me big pleasure. The chapels that are also part of the museum were majestic, all the paintings, altars, the yard there is its all just so grand. There was rain and it made the views out of the windows and from the balcony so beautiful. If I had more time I would just have enjoyed sitting outside in the yard. It is a must see place.…

This place was not too big, but has a great selection of artefacts in the museum. The ceilings are to die for in the main church building. Even has a maritime section with a couple of boats and models size ones too. Nice little finish coming down from the Castel Sant'Elmo!

The best way to get to this gem, perched on, literally, a small urban mountain, is by cablecar (funiculare). Once you're up there it's already a treat to have the whole of Naples, Gulf and all, at your feet. The Certosa complex then is a wonder to experience. The monastery itself is a retreat of tranquillity. But the interior of the several halls behind the chapel are something else. There is so much art and artefact that you would need several hours to take them in properly. And even if you're not an art buff, you can allow yourself to be impressed by the quality and the concentration of works under one roof. After you're done, make sure to descend the 'mountain' on foot using the old stairs that take you down to not far from where you came from.…
