Chiostro di San Lorenzo Maggiore, Medieval Gothic cloister in Centro Storico, Naples, Italy
The cloister features a square courtyard with elegant Gothic arches supported by marble columns, surrounded by covered walkways and garden spaces.
Charles I of Anjou initiated the construction of the cloister in 1270, incorporating French Gothic architectural elements with traditional Italian design patterns.
The cloister served as a meeting place for Naples city council during the 14th century, making decisions that shaped the development of the city.
Visitors can access the cloister through the museum entrance at 316 Piazza San Gaetano, with guided tours available from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
The complex sits atop layers of Greek and Roman ruins, including a market from the 4th century BC that visitors can explore beneath the structure.
