Itinerary
The Certosa di San Martino was consecrated in 1368. It was given a purely Gothic style which in 1600 will be converted into Baroque. It will be in the following century that the Maddalena chapel, the Refectory and the Cloister will be annexed. Among the personalities who worked there, Giordano, Vaccaro and De Mura stand out. In 1866 Fiorelli will establish the museum that was intended to preserve the "homeland memories" of the city.
The Charterhouse includes the monks' cemetery, the procurators cloister, the big cloister, and the church. The vault still shows the original 14th century frame, as well as impressive frescoes by Giovanni Lanfranco, and paintings by Caracciolo, Finoglia, Reni, Ribera, and Stanzione. The Maddalena chapel, the Conversi Choir, the sacristy, and the fresco of the Treasure are very well preserved. In 1866, Giuseppe Fiorelli founded the National Museum of San Martino, seat of the collection of art objects connected with Naples and the history of the southern kingdom. The Charterhouse of San Martino shares the highest point of the city of Naples with Sant'Elmo Castle. In addition to the architectural beauties of the monastery and the rich collection of the museum, unobstructed views of the city, the bay, and the surrounding countryside with Vesuvius reigning supreme make a visit to San Martino an unforgettable experience.

You have to make sure there is printing at check in
I bought the tour for Oct 17, 2025, and only to get an email on 10/16 that they cancelled my order. I ended up not able to visit the place and this is a big loss for me. TripAdvisor wouldn’t automatically do the refund but instead asked me to contact the tour provider for the refund. The service from TripAdvisor is terrible.
After buying my tickets on the tripadvisor site I received 2 days before departure a cancellation from them ... Here's little surprise last minute!!! So distrust you think you're quiet and well no! So time wasted for the reservation and then for the refund So we went through another site. Otherwise the museum and the chartreuse GREAT
PLACE TO SEE, I WAS ADVISED TO GO AND I MUST SAY THEY WERE RIGHT, VERY NICE WITH A VIEW OF BREATHTAKING NAPLES NOT TO BE MISSED...
Museum closed even though TripAdvisor had sold us a skip-the-line ticket!! A scam TripAdvisor does not respond to us
Sensational museum, located at the top of the mountain with breathtaking views of Naples. the visit to the castle and the museum below is very demanding and practically takes a day. But it's worth it
Great tours on both red and blue lines. Purchased ticket gives access to both. The blue takes longer and goes a lot along the beautiful coast of Naples. Is to recommend
No problem! Everything went very well. Excellent experience! I couldn’t get tickets but with trip advisor no problem. Beautiful view of Naples Bay! To see!
<p>1 There is no Skip-the-line at the museum. You have to wait in line with all ticket purchasers even if you have electronic tickets. <br/> 2 The ticket cashier had no working computer and could not process our electronic tickets. After some arguing with her, she finally let us in. <br/> 3 The museum is in disrepair with poor signage in terms of the flow of where to go to see what exhibits with nearly 70 of the museum closed.</p>
