\"Below

Below the castle of Sant’Elmo (at the top) is located the monastery of San Martino (\u00a9 Portanapoli.com)<\/p><\/div>\n

In the National museum of\u00a0San Martino, you can see a famous collection of Neapolitan nativity scenes<\/a> including the remarkable Presepe Cuciniello (Cuciniello\u2019s crib), among the finest nativity scenes in the world. It consists of more than 150 people,\u00a0animals,\u00a0angels, and about 450 miniature items.<\/p>\n

But there is much more to see! The Museum of San Martino\u00a0<\/strong>belongs to the most important museums in Naples<\/a>. It includes a church, a charterhouse, beautiful monastery yards and a terraced garden, from which the visitor has a breathtaking view on the Gulf of Naples<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since 1866, the large monastery complex Certosa di San Martino<\/strong> on the hill of Sant\u2019Elmo on the Vomero (close to Sant’Elmo fortress) houses the National Museum of San Martino<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Museum of San Martino\u00a0is located in the former living quarters of the prior and the monks\u2019 cells<\/h4>\n

In over 70 halls, it displays exhibits from different eras of Naples city history. There are paintings and sculptures from the 13th to the 19th century as well as a folk art section, a marine- and a Vesuvius section. The St. Martin’s Charterhouse and Sant’Elmo fortress are the most visible landmark of the city.<\/p>\n

Worth seeing is also the church, Chiesa delle Donne,<\/h4>\n

which is beautifully decorated with Lanfranco frescoes. After it was extended and restored in the 16th and 17th century, the church consists today of one single nave and three cross vaults.<\/p>\n

The building of the monastery began under Charles of Anjou (Duke of Calabria) and was finished in 1368.Particularly interesting is the architectural design and decoration of the building, featuring numerous frescoes, marble paneling, woodcarvings, and floor mosaics, which were created by well-known artists of the 16th and 17th century.<\/p>\n
