The basilica of Santa Chiara, or the monastery of Santa Chiara, is a monumental house of worship in Naples, among the most important and largest monastic complexes in the city.
The basilica has its entrance on Via Benedetto Croce, rising on the northeastern side of Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, opposite the church of the same name and adjacent to that of the Poor Clares, the latter once part of the monastic complex of Santa Chiara.
This is the largest Gothic basilica in the city, featuring a monastery that includes four monumental cloisters, the archaeological excavations in the surrounding area and several other rooms in which the Opera Museum of the same name is housed, which in turn also includes in the tour the nuns' choir, with remains of Giotto's frescoes, a large refectory, the sacristy and other basilical rooms.
