Se potessi metterei molte più stelle. Abbiamo visitato questa chiesa perché dai social avevo già sentito parlare del "teschio con le orecchie". Così camminando per i vicoli di Spaccanapoli, ho visto i cartelli e mi sono subito precipitata. Si può entrare solo con visita guidata al costo di 6 euro, ben spesi aggiungerei. La nostra guida è stata super disponibile a trattenersi con noi per raccontarci di più della Chiesa e del culto religioso dei napoletani in generale. Menzione merita il fatto che parte del costo del biglietto è impiegato per opere di restauro e manutenzione e io sono sempre ben contenta di poter dare il mio piccolo contributo. Non saltate questa visita!

Another church, and another church worth seeing. A very small catacombs but a nice tick on the Naples tour list. A self funded project, which allows for more restoration with. They do Italian or English tours, handy👍

I’ve been there with family, 8 and 9 years old kids. The site is very small so they visit it takes around 30 minutes . Rosa, the lady that guided our tour, was really interesting and create a good atmosphere for a very nice visit.
