Certosa e Museo di San Martino

Why go

The Certosa di San Martino is a former Carthusian monastery on the Vomero hill in Naples; italia.it says the charterhouse has stood there since 1325, that only the basement survives of the original Gothic building designed by Tino di Camaino, and that it was later made part of the national museums. The Comune di Napoli's walking-route page says Largo San Martino, the square in front of the Certosa, lies at the highest point of the Vomero hill, and calls the Certosa a museum today. italia.it describes an exhibition route on two levels, with the Cuciniello nativity scene and a gallery of 19th-century painting, and two cloisters: the Procurator's Cloister, which gives access to the museum rooms and gardens, and the Great Cloister. The museum's own website could not be reached on 9 October 2026, so no entry or booking rule is given here.
