Via del Duomo 147.
Napoli, Italy

A monumental construction, graced inside by 110 ancient granite columns which support its Latin Cross structure, the Duomo was begun by King Carlo I d'Angió in the 13th century and finished by his successor Roberto d'Angió in 1313. The grandiose interior of the cathedral is lavishly decorated. Among the most precious artwork is the painting of the Assunta by Perugino, located on the right side of the transept. Several chapels open from both naves and the transept; the most splendid is the Gothic Cappella Capece Minutolo, with its beautiful 13th-century frescoes and mosaic floor. To the right of the presbytery is another Gothic chapel of great beauty, the Cappella Tocco. You'll also want to descend downstairs to access the Succorpo or Cappella Carafa, one of the most elegant Renaissance architectural structures ever created, in the style of Bramante.
