San Gennaro extra Moenia, Minor basilica in Rione Sanita, Naples, Italy.
The basilica features two levels carved from tuff stone, with spacious interiors and high ceilings reaching 6 meters in the lower section.
The structure originated from two ancient burial sites, combining a 2nd-century tomb containing Saint Agrippinus and a 4th-century tomb holding San Gennaro remains.
The basilica maintains its connection to the Roman Catholic faith through regular masses and serves as an important religious center in the Archdiocese of Naples.
Visitors can access the basilica daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM through the entrance at Via Capodimonte 13, with guided tours available in English and Italian.
The basilica connects directly to the Catacombs of San Gennaro, the largest Christian catacomb complex in southern Italy, featuring extensive tunnels and burial chambers.
