The tickets were drawn up before our departure. so for me reassured, saving time on the spot. but for the other service and purchase of a 2 cards 'artecard 3 days'made with headout ., I'm not happy at all. And I'm asking for a refund: the link with artecard never worked and we had no one to help us on the spot - loss of time and money. When it works well, I admit it - when it doesn't, it's very upsetting. You can see that we haven't been able to use this loan. And it's not for lack of pointing it out to you even before our departure, look at all the e-mails we've exchanged. I'm waiting for a positive reply from you.

Having the opportunity to visit, learn and deepen one's knowledge of local culture with an organized and well-functioning service like Headout's, when one is a traveler in our time, where it is not always and not for everyone easy to carve out time for culture, is a great opportunity. Even more so if the people who accompany and lead these visits are knowledgeable, professional and at the same time passionate about the topics they exhibit. So recognition to the work of the perosne of Headout and specifically many kudos to Carlo Zarone.

Very good organization. I had not been able to find a ticket for the Veiled Christ, so I turned to this site (Headout) a little afraid of getting a rip-off (which had happened to me in the past) : I had to change my mind. The walk in the center of Naples, together with the visit to the Veiled Christ, thanks to the excellent guide (Francesco) , who dispensed historical notes and curiosities, was a wonderful surprise. Absolutely recommend it.

I loved the tunnels and water chambers and the old lady's house with the cellar, with the anti earthquake walls. I have claustrophobia but I managed the sometimes very tight tunnels. Our guide was fun with a sense of humour but it was often difficult to hear him or follow what he was saying, so we missed a lot of the stories.. which was disappointing.

The Veiled Christ | A sculptural marvel inside Sansevero Chapel Museum

Step inside one of Italy’s most mysterious and awe-inspiring chapels—Sansevero Chapel Museum—to witness one of the most breathtaking sculptures ever created: the Veiled Christ. Carved from a single block of marble, this masterpiece defies belief, with its delicate veil appearing almost transparent. Commissioned in 1753 by Prince Raimondo di Sangro, the chapel itself is a hidden gem of Baroque art, filled with sculptures, alchemy, and legends waiting to be uncovered.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Veiled Christ tickets, what makes the sculpture unique, best time to visit, and more.

Why you can’t miss the Veiled Christ & Sansevero Chapel

close up of Veiled Christ statue in sansevero chapel
  • Master craftsmanship: The Veiled Christ is one of the most astonishing sculptures ever created—so lifelike that for centuries, people believed the veil wasn’t carved from marble but the result of alchemy.
  • A marble veil that defies belief: The sculpture is famous for its almost transparent veil, draped over Christ’s body. The precision of the folds, the way the marble appears to ripple like fabric, has left artists in awe.
  • Profound symbolism: The sculpture symbolizes purity, sacrifice, and spiritual transition. The transparent marble veil reflects Christ's suffering and humanity while evoking mystery. Instruments of the Passion at his feet symbolize redemption and martyrdom.
  • The myth of the alchemical veil: The sculpture’s lifelike quality was so unbelievable that many believed Prince Raimondo di Sangro had transformed real cloth into stone using alchemy. While science has disproven this myth, the legend only adds to the statue’s mystique.
  • A Baroque setting: The Veiled Christ is just one of the wonders inside Sansevero Chapel Museum, which houses sculptures, hidden symbols, and anatomical models. Every inch of the chapel tells a story—making it one of Naples’ most intriguing attractions.

Pro-tip: Tickets sell out weeks in advance—book early to guarantee your visit!

Things to know before you book your Veiled Christ tickets

  • All tickets are timed-entry slots, and online booking is required for all visitors. Entry without a reservation is not allowed due to the chapel’s popularity and limited capacity. If you are late by more than 15 minutes from the allotted time, you will not be allowed to enter the chapel.
  • Your ticket grants entry to the Sansevero Chapel Museum, where the Veiled Christ is housed. No separate ticket is required—the sculpture is the highlight of the chapel, along with other masterpieces like Modesty and Disillusion.
  • You can explore the chapel freely or rent an audio guide. This 25-minute commentary provides insights into the Veiled Christ and the chapel’s other masterpieces and is offered in multiple languages.
  • A historian-led guided tour provides expert commentary on the hidden symbolism, artistic details, and myths surrounding the chapel. Some tours even combine entry with a walking tour of Naples’ historic center, offering a broader understanding of the city's rich heritage.
  • Sansevero Chapel has strict daily visitor limits, and tickets often sell out days or even weeks ahead, especially from June to August. Early booking is strongly recommended to secure your preferred time slot.
  • During peak season, you might have to wait in line for 15 minutes to over an hour to visit Sansevero Chapel. Therefore, we recommend booking your tickets in advance to skip long lines and gain access faster. However, you must pass through security checks. Arrive early to ensure a smooth entry.
  • If you want to avoid crowds and enjoy a peaceful experience, visit early in the morning before 10am or post midday when the crowds break for lunch.

  • Wheelchair access: Wheelchair users can access the entire nave of the chapel as well as the sacristy. However, a narrow 19th-century spiral staircase leading to the underground chamber is inaccessible for the disabled.
  • Access for visually impaired visitors: The chapel organizes visits tailored to the specific needs of the visually impaired and also provides a certified text detailing the artworks and magnificence of the attraction.
  • Service animals: Guide dogs are allowed inside the chapel.
  • No rentals: There is no on-site wheelchair rental, and the corridors can get crowded, so plan accordingly.

Note: If you have mobility challenges but can manage a few steps, you may still visit the main areas comfortably. Those who cannot access the basement exhibit won’t miss the main highlights, as the Veiled Christ and other major sculptures are on the ground floor.

Cristo Velato
  • Unlike active churches, the Sansevero Chapel does not impose a strict dress code since is no longer a consecrated place of worship. That said, it’s always wise to dress respectfully when visiting a place that is historical and contains religious art. Smart-casual attire or modest clothing is encouraged out of respect for the site’s cultural and sacred heritage​.
  • Touching any statues, sculptures, or exhibits is strictly prohibited. Look with your eyes, not your hands!
  • The attraction is a museum as well as a religious site, therefore, talking loudly is discouraged
  • Usage of mobile phones within the premises is not allowed. 
  • Photography and videography are strictly prohibited. Tripods and camera equipment are also not allowed inside the attraction.
  • Consuming food and beverages or smoking inside the chapel are strictly prohibited.
  • No pets, with the exception of service animals, are allowed inside the attraction.
  • Aim to arrive a bit before your scheduled entry time. There is often a short line to check tickets for each time slot, and you want to be at the front of your slot’s queue. You are allowed a grace period of about 15 minutes after your reserved time to enter.
  • It’s a good idea to download the ticket PDF to your phone before you go (or print it out), as the cell signal can be spotty in the old city alleys and you might not be able to pull up your email on the spot.
  • Note that the chapel is an 18th-century building adapted as a museum. Therefore, facilities, like restrooms or elevators, are limited.

The tickets were drawn up before our departure. so for me reassured, saving time on the spot. but for the other service and purchase of a 2 cards 'artecard 3 days'made with headout ., I'm not happy at all. And I'm asking for a refund: the link with artecard never worked and we had no one to help us on the spot - loss of time and money. When it works well, I admit it - when it doesn't, it's very upsetting. You can see that we haven't been able to use this loan. And it's not for lack of pointing it out to you even before our departure, look at all the e-mails we've exchanged. I'm waiting for a positive reply from you.
