Duomo di Napoli, Naples

This is the Naples Cathedral.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is the floor of the crypt under the church.

 

 

And that ends a great trip to South Italy.

 

This is how I feel after two weeks of pizza and pasta.

 

 

Our Bulgaria trip starts on Monday, June 11.

 

Cloister Garden of Santa Chiara Monastery, Naples

This famous Cloister Garden was transformed in 1742 by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro with the unique addition of majolica tiles in the Rococò style. [thanks Wikipedia]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Santa Chiara Monastery also had an 18th Century Nativity Scene. I hope you can read this description.

 

 

 

 

After this we headed to a pizza restaurant for lunch. It is Napoli, birthplace of pizza after all. I was surprised when our traveling companions announced they wanted a frutti di mare (seafood) pizza. We were all surprised by what they were served. Mmmmmm crunchy!

 

 

 

Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo, Naples

Another beautiful church.
