“A church from the 12th century? In this town?” you might be thinking. And you wouldn’t be wrong to be surprised! The Chiesa di San Marco has seen quite a bit of history come and go since its patronage by King William II of Sicily. While the church we see today in Naples isn’t quite the same as the one built all those centuries ago, it still holds a unique charm. Imagine the changes the Chiesa di San Marco has seen, from its major reconstruction in the 16th century to the addition of its beautiful frescoes. What stories do these walls hold? Perhaps those secrets are held within the very stones themselves. Don’t forget, the Chiesa di San Marco is home to more than just beautiful art. Legend has it that a stone which St. Mark himself sat upon is contained within the church. Many have come to this very spot, seeking the stone’s famed healing powers. Whether or not the miracles are real, one thing is for sure: The Chiesa di San Marco is a testament to the power of belief and the enduring nature of history.
