[Italy] Naples Cathedral

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip One of the most important churches in Southern Italy, the Cathedral of Naples was built in the 13th century by Charles I of Anjou and completed in the 14th century under Robert of Anjou. The Gothic cathedral was built on and around the Paleo-Christian church of Santa Restituta and is dedicated to St. Januarius, the city's patron saint. The Duomo sits on top of catacombs that contain archaeological remains of ancient Greek, Roman and early Christian civilizations. The small chapel in the church was built in honour of St. Januarius (St. Gennaro), the patron saint of Naples. The cathedral houses a vial of Januarius' blood, which is taken out twice a year, on the first Saturday of May and on September 19, and on these two annual feast days, Januarius' blood, which should be completely dry, liquefies in the vial. According to legend, if this blood does not liquefy on the holiday, it is believed that something bad will happen to Naples. I went there without knowing anything about it, but by chance I was able to see it!! #TripToItaly #Naples
