Naples Cathedral

Built in the Gothic style at the end of the 13th Century upon the wish of Carlo II d'Angio, the Cattedrale di San Gennaro sits on the site of the old cathedral Stafania. It has been subject to numerous restoration works in the subsequent centuries, and the facade has been restructured significantly during the restoration work carried out following the earthquake of 1349. The three portals survived from the original structure. Under the second arcade on the left side of the central nave in the cathedral, there is a baptismal font made of an Egyptian basalt basin decorated with Bacchic masks. The upper parts of the nave feature multi-colored marble from 1618. Also, the 18th-century organs and the episcopal throne are under the last two arcades of the central nave.
