Certosa  di  San  Martino

Latest update: 31 January 2024
The Certosa di San Martino is one of a cluster of sights situated in the Vomero area of Naples. The former monastery is now a museum and is just a few steps away from the Castel Sant'Elmo. 

Both the castle and the monastery are important stops for any serious exploration of the city and are recommended to visit as a pair on the same day. 
Apart from the fascinating historic and artistic exhibits on display at the Certosa itself, the building's position on the hill overlooking Naples  makes it a popular spot from which to view the city. The Belvedere San Martino just in front of its entrance is one of the most famous panoramic viewpoints in Naples providing the iconic view of the city with Mount Vesuvius in the background.
