What to expect
The Certosa di San Martino is a former monastery complex, now a museum, located in Naples, Italy. The complex was finished and inaugurated in 1368 and was dedicated to St. Martin of Tours. It was expanded in the 16th century and again in 1623 under the direction of architect Cosimo Fanzago. Today, the buildings house the National Museum of San Martino, which displays Spanish and Bourbon era artifacts, as well as a renowned Nativity scene. The museum also features a beautiful courtyard, gardens, and a cloister. Visitors can enjoy a stunning view of the bay from the monastery

From these heights, we enjoyed panoramic views of Naples, the bay, and the Vesuvius volcano in the distance
Highlights: We loved the panoramic views of Naples and the Vesuvius volcano from the Certosa di San Martino. The kids were fascinated by the large cloister with its beautiful colonnades and the section on Neapolitan Nativity scenes in the museum ✨
