Completed in the 14th century, Duomo di Napoli was built on the foundation of two palaeo-Christian basilicas, traces of which can still be seen today. When you visit this Catholic cathedral, be sure to look for the fourth-century mosaics. The grand Royal Chapel of the Treasure of San Gennaro contains famous frescoes by Domenichino and a reliquary by 14th-century French masters. Those of a squeamish disposition should skip the caskets of human bones. The cathedral operates a strictly modest dress code.

One of the most impressive buildings in Naples. The inside looks even better then the outside. If you pay €2 you can see the most beautiful room you'll ever see

I think you should visit the Duomo as it is simply beautiful. The first thing that catch my eyes is the ceiling: it looks like not the usual church ceiling but rather a king’s palace ceiling. This makes it unique, must visit!
