His story

In the 8th century B.C. it was Founded by the Cumaeans , it was among the most important cities of Magna Graecia and played a considerable commercial, cultural and religious role. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the city formed an autonomous duchy independent of the Byzantine Empire; later, from the 13th century and for more than five hundred years, it was the capital of the Kingdom of Naples; with the Restoration it became the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies under the Bourbons until the Unification of Italy. City with an impressive tradition in the field of fine arts, gave rise to original architectural and pictorial movements.

One of the many places to visit is the Monastery of St. Clare one of the largest in the city, it develops behind the basilica. It houses within it the Opera Museum of the same name, a vast archaeological area from the Roman period and also features four monumental cloisters, a library, several convent halls (including a refectory, the hall of Maria Cristina , the chapter house and kitchens) and the church of the Clarisse (former refectory of the Fratti Minori). A large cloister decorated with majolica tiles was designed, divided into four parts by the intersection of two avenues and propped up by as many as 64 octagonal-shaped pillars.  The pillars, decorated with vine shoots, are linked together by fully tiled seats bearing folk scenes, agrarian and mythological, while one backrest features an image taken from daily monastic life: a nun feeding kittens.
