Maestosa e ricca di storia, la Basilica del Carmine Maggiore a Napoli incanta con la sua imponenza barocca e l’atmosfera mistica. Un tesoro artistico e spirituale, dove fede, arte e tradizione si fondono in un’esperienza intensa e senza tempo.

Nuestra Señora del Carmen En la ciudad de Nápoles (Italia) se levanta este magnífico templo dedicado a la Virgen del Carmen. En un primer momento se construyó en estilo gótico, pero luego se fue modificando para acoger en el barroco napolitano, su estado actual. La nave con capillas laterales posee un artesonado moderno, ya que el original del siglo XVII, fue destruido en la segunda guerra mundial. Todo está decorado con rico mármol policromado. Son muy interesantes sus órganos. Es famosísimo el llamado Crucifijo del Carmen, de gran veneración en toda la ciudad de Nápoles.
