Il Duomo (The Cathedral)
Naples's cathedral was built in the late 13th and early 14th century. It is dedicated to the city's patron, San Gennaro, whose blood is kept in two vials within the building and is said to liquefy at certain times of the year. Traces of an early Christian basilica can be seen within the cathedral. Its most famous attraction is the Chapel of the Treasure of St Januarius, with its impressive frescoes and altarpieces.
