The present cathedral dates from the late 13th century and keeps the relics and the blood of San Gennaro, the patron saint of Naples. The visit takes in the main church, the basilica of Santa Restituta with its five aisles and the baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte, which goes back to the late 4th or early 5th century.
