One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen! Loved it for its simplicity and stained glass windows. Unfortunately, we could not enjoy the cloister due to the rain.

Entry is 6 euros for adults (4.5 for students under 30) and it's definitely worth the price. Walking through the tall collumns around the interior garden with the yellow and blue all around was simply amazing. Definitely a must see in Napoli. We saw it in the morning before our flight. I would have regretted not giving it a chance.

Great place to take a relaxing walk in a peaceful atmosphere. It should you 45-75 minutes. There is a very small library, a museum with original pieces which belong to the cloister, and some archeological findings.
