The Charterhouse was founded in the 14th century and transformed in the 17th century by Cosimo Fanzago and other great artists of the Neapolitan Baroque. The church, cloisters and halls are rich in marble, frescoes and paintings.Today it houses the Museum of San Martino, with its nativity scene section, including the famous Cuciniello crib, and the hanging gardens overlooking the gulf.
