Flanked by the treasury and chapterhouse, the Church and Sacristy at Certosa di San Martino boasts of beautiful frescoes and paintings by some of Naples's greatest 17th-century artists. These include illustrious names such as Battista Caracciolo, Jusepe de Ribera, Guido Reni, and Massimo Stanzione.
Adjacent to the Church, you can see two splendid cloisters-the Chiostro dei Procuratori and the Chiostro Grande. The Chiostro Grande is the larger of the two cloisters, was originally designed by Dosio in the late 16th century, and features beautiful Tuscan-Doric porticoes, gleaming marble statues, and vibrant camellias.
Just off the Chiostro dei Procuratori is the Sezione Navale. The Sezione Navale documents the history of the Bourbon Navy from 1734 to 1860. It also features a small and exquisite collection of royal barges.
Sezione Presepiale features a whimsical collection of rare Neapolitan ‘presepi’ or nativity scenes from the 18th and 19th centuries. One of the most famous works in the collection is the humongous 19th-century Cuciniello creation that covers an entire wall of what used to be the former monastery’s kitchen.
The bulk of the monks’ historic collection is displayed at the Quarto del Priore, which is in the southern wing of Certosa di San Martino.
You can also see the museum’s most famous sculpture, Madonna col Bambino e San Giovannino here.
Delve into Neopolitan history through a pictorial journey at Immagini e Memorie della Città e del Regno. Over here, you’ll find portraits of historic characters, antique maps, rooms dedicated to major historical events, and a fabled maritime depiction of Naples in the second half of the 15th century.
Below Certosa di San Martino is the Sotterranei Gotici or Gothic Basement. The austere vaulted space of the Sotterranei holds around 150 marble sculptures and epigraphs. Though tours for this area were suspended indefinitely in 2017, for additional information please contact Certosa di San Martino.
