About
The church was founded by Bartolomeo Di Capua in 1327 and became a place of worship for the Guild of Pipernieri, Frabbicatori and Tagliamonti that in Santa Lucia entrusted the protection of sight, put at risk by their profession. In the basement of the church is kept the famous Skull with Ears, from which the Neapolitans, up until the 1900s, went to pray.

I found this place by an accident and I highly recommend it. We had a tour on English and we didn't have to book anything in advance, if you are a student you get a reduced price. The lady who gave us a tour was so friendly and nice and she knew so much about Naples and its history which was amazing. The tour didn't last long, there weren't a lot of people, you have enough time to ask questions and take photos. Definitely a must when in Naples.

Very nice museum with very nice and smart guides. Short, but entertaining tour. I highly recommend this tour if you want to know more about Napolitan beliefs in afterlife.

Our guide was fantastic in explaining the history of the church and the restoration that it has experienced and is still ongoing. A fascinating story with a very unique underground cemetery. Would highly recommend visiting.

It's a gorgeous little place tucked away in the historical centre of Naples. The guide (Eleanora) was really helpful, knowledgeable and gave some really interesting information about the history of the place but also the process of restoration.

It was a last minute decision to visit the place, located in a very unassuming corner of a busy street. Though a small church, the work that the association has put in to restore the place is truly admirable. A short 20 mins tour but full of interesting nuggets of information about the church and the traditions of Naples. Overall, great visit and lovely staff.

This is a fantastic small tour to explore and at only €5 a bargain. The volunteers are knowledgable and are passionate about restoring this forgotten church. Not only do you learn about the church but also the people and customs of Napoli. It’s easily missed and I found it by accident. Defitnely add it to your to-do list

Am undiscovered gem in the centre of the old town, only open since 2019 and hampered by Covid closures.
The renovation project is inspired by a small group of young students, who as well as giving mini tours in italian and English, have put their heart and soul into the project..
Be sure to sign their petition for local government funding to help them.

Da napoletano non conoscevo la storia del teschio con le orecchie ed il gruppo "Respiriamo Arte" è stato bravissimo nello spiegare questa storia e tante altre nel giro turistico fatto per le chiese di Nspoli. Devo dire brave e da premiare per il loro prezioso lavoro di riportare alla luce meraviglie come queste.👍👏👏👏

Grazie per le bellissime parole. Immagino solo che lei non volesse scrivere la recensione nella sezioni domande. Dovrebbe scriverla come recensione.
Comunque grazie dal profondo del nostro cuore.
