A vast collection of paintings spanning from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century. A must-see for anyone who appreciates sacred art and wants to discover the great Italian, Flemish, and Neapolitan painters. However, the museum's layout isn't always ideal: the labels for each work are often placed too low and printed in far too small a font, forcing visitors to get very close and bend down. Furthermore, the museum entrance isn't signposted; you have to guess where to go. Finally, we would have appreciated some wayfinding within the exhibition: there are so many rooms that it's easy to lose track of where you are and risk missing out on certain works.

Nothing special here - just a place where all of the wood paths meet. Couple of headless statues on the North, and a path towards the museum to the south. Reasonably clean toilets.

To be very frank, this park is one of the few areas in Naples that are clean, green and refreshing. No garbage, no buildings falling apart - one could almost believe to be in Austria. 😂

Greenish paths look so surreal. I've been looking left and right to see if there are any elfs or hobbits around. 😂

Currently, the garden houses about 25,000 plant specimens representing about 10,000 plant species. Although the garden is open to the public, it is not necessarily a public park. It is an autonomous educational center for the university and local high schools of the Department of Agriculture of the University of Naples.
