There are 3 sculptures here and one is more incredible then the next. The veiled truth was incredible, carved out of one piece of marble by it self would be worth seeing, but then you turn and Release from Deception is there and how they carve a net out a piece of marble is just crazy. And then in the middle of the room is The veiled Christ, the highlight of the Chapel IMO. This piece is just absolutly amazing, a must see. Not the scars where the nails were. Then you have all the other sculptures but don't forget to look up and then you head downstairs for an amazing surprise. IMO this is well worth the money. I did a guided tour and got some history but wish I could have stayed upstairs in the Chapel longer. Well worth the price of admission but be aware they do not allow pictures inside.
it was challenging to find the guide in the square for the "voucher exchange point" but they were very accommodating and actually called to see where we were. when I explained I was with elderly parents, they came to meet us outside the chapel and we joined the tour then. it was short and sweet but incredibly informative and I really enjoyed the chapel. veiled christ is quite possibly one of the most exquisite pieces of art I have ever seen and it is not the most interesting even within that chapel. great, great tour! Viator really needs to work on the voucher/ticket pick up point aspect of their tours - it has been very challenging throughout our whole trip.
Beautiful Chapel with breathtaking arts Guide was very professional with complete explanation of the history of the place
Amazing opportunity to see these amazing statues. I only knew about the Christ statue however the statue with the fishing net is simply baffling. Highly reccomended tour, must see! The guide was with a very good sense of humor as well as very knowledgable.
A truly wonderful experience. A special thanks goes to the guide, Danilo: courteous, helpful, and always attentive to the group's needs. He was able to explain the historical and artistic aspects of the Sansevero Chapel with great competence and clarity, making the visit even more interesting and engaging. I can only give the highest rating.
Interesting and fascinating experience. The guide was knowledgeable and kind. Francesca. I highly recommend it.
Just follow the instructions in the guide. Everything has been very quick and interesting. Highly recommended. I would repeat it. I especially recommend the guide Francesca, very professional and with great knowledge.
Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and took his time to provide all the interesting details. We very much enjoyed the tour. Thank you!
This was our first experience and it took a bit to know who we were looking for but it all went smoothly after that.
A wonderful place rich in emotions. The Veiled Christ is a work that strikes the heart with its beauty and perfection. A special thanks to the guide, who was very knowledgeable, available, and kind. Absolutely recommended visit.
