Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Giorgio Maggiore is a historic Catholic church on Via Duomo in Naples. Its architecture includes elements dating to the 4th and 5th centuries, and part of the church was destroyed in 1640. Inside, look for a painting concealed behind another painting, though access to it is not always available. Entry is free, and the cool interior offers a quiet pause in the historic centre. Visit to see the church itself, and ask politely whether the hidden painting can be viewed.
