Why Cappella Sansevero matters
Hidden in the old town, this chapel contains a marble statue of the dead Christ covered by a thin veil, so finely carved it seems like real cloth. Visits are timed and short. It is a must for sculpture lovers.
Talking points
- The Veiled Christ looks like it's covered in real fabric.
- Visits are timed and restricted.
- Photography is not allowed inside.
- It's in the middle of the historic centre.
Free to read aloud or adapt in your video. Check facts that matter to you against an official source before you publish.
Good to know: Book online; the chapel is small and sells out.
