Iconic Churches of Campania

Campania’s religious heritage spans from the Byzantine-influenced Amalfi Cathedral to the intricate Baroque sculptures of Naples' Sansevero Chapel. This collection includes UNESCO-listed sites like the Santa Sofia Complex in Benevento and the sprawling Padula Charterhouse. Highlights range from the majolica-tiled domes of Positano to the Gothic interiors of Santa Chiara and the ancient ossuary at Fontanelle Cemetery, illustrating the region's architectural evolution and spiritual history across two millennia.
