Museos en Campania

Best Museums & Art

Campania’s cultural landscape spans millennia, from the remarkably preserved Roman ruins of Pompeii and the Greek temples of Paestum to the grand Bourbon residences like the Royal Palace of Naples and Museo di Capodimonte. The region houses the Naples National Archaeological Museum, containing the Farnese collection and Vesuvius mosaics. Artistic highlights include the Rococo sculptures of Sansevero Chapel and medieval frescoes within Castel Nuovo. This collection also covers specialized heritage, such as Amalfi’s paper-making history and the contemporary art within historic fortresses.
