Another crown jewel in the neapolitan treasure expressing the architectural pre-unification grandeur of a city never enough valued for its historical,cultural and social beauty .To add to that,the peculiar and thrilling discovery of a very special guest who has a monumental resting place on the church ground:Vlad Tepesh,a vallacchian hero of the christian struggle against the ottoman empire,better known as"dracula"is there,tucked in a corner of the beautiful colonnated cloister..it took me by surprise and got me researching in this character's endeavours though failing in making a conclusion. Would recoment anyone a visit to this beautiful site
