Gesu Velato

Ahem!

Well, I did tell ya!

Certainly looks like a 'must see' if one happens to be in Naples. The Veiled Christ is quite stunning.

For those wishing to see this fabulous sculpture in more detail, have a look at this http://www.museosansevero.it/cappellasansevero/cristovelato.html

Ghiro - it is without doubt one of the "seven wonders of the world".  I have written in depth about Gesu Velato (in another place) several times and most here know that I would not only recommend everyone who visits Napoli to see this masterpiece, but to visit the whole of the Cappella Sansevero museum.

There are numerous treasures within and, until fairly recently, it was one of the best kept secrets in the world.  Places like "Trip Advisor" have opened wonderful things like this up to the mass population - and rightly so.

Remember, Sansevero is CLOSED on Tuesdays. 

Thank you Ms D.

OH & I had planned to do Roma on Monday, Napoli on Tuesday and Sentiero degli Dei on Wednesday

So back to the drawing board!

Switch them around a bit and I'll fly you in the Spaceship!  What time is lunch?
