Visiting the National Museum of San Martino in Naples

In over 70 halls, the National Museum of San Martino, a former monastery complex, displays exhibits from different eras of Naples city history.

The Gothic monastery of the Carthusian Order was founded in 1325 by Charles of Anjou (1298–1328), duke of Calabria. In 1623, it was almost completely rebuilt, turning it into one of the best examples for Naples Baroque. Since 1866, the large monastery complex houses the National Museum of San Martino (Museo Nazionale di San Martino).
