The museum building, set up by royal decree in 1615 as the university of Naples, houses permanent collections of gems, sculptures, architecture and mosaics, mostly Graeco-Roman but also with sections on Egypt and special exhibits. |
| CAPODIMONTE MUSEUM OF ART |  | | The Capodimonte National Museum of Art hosts one of Italy's most significant art collections. |
EXCURSIONS
| RUINS OF POMPEII |  | | Probably one of the most famous ex-cities of the world, Pompei was destroyed in 79AD by the unexpected eruption of Vesuvius, a volcano on the foothills where it had been built. In an incredibly short space of time the city was completely obliterated, submerged by a thick layer of volcanic ash that froze the last few moments of the lives of its citizens for all time. |
| DUOMO OF SAN GENNARO |  | | Nel duomo di S. Gennaro ogni anno si verifica il più famoso e antico prodigio di liquefazione del sangue, contenuto in due ampolle di vetro di disuguale capacità. Tutto ciò ha luogo durante una solenne cerimonia. |
| THE TEATRO SAN CARLO |  | | The Teatro San Carlo, the oldest running theatre in Europe, attracts orchestras, performers and troupes from all over the world, including operatic singers like Domingo, Carreras and Pavarotti and internationally renowned orchestras from Vienna, Berlin and London. |
