Chiostro di Santa Chiara e Museo dell'Opera

Via Santa Chiara, 49c, Naples, Italy
Tel: +39 0815526280 +39 0817971256
 

The cloister is connected to the Church of St. Claire and preserves some of the old 14th century construction. It was transformed in 1742 through the work of Domenico Vaccaro, when pillars, parapets and magnificent mosaic tiles representing 64 scenes of landscapes, masquerades, carnival triumphs and mythological scenes were added. The two octagonal fountains are well worth seeing. The museum of Santa Chiara, on the side of the cloister, is home to marble and wooden furnishings as well as religious vestments from the church. The thermal baths building represents is one of the most complete example of its kind in Naples.
