Cappella Sansevero FAQs
Can I take photos of the Veiled Christ?
No. Photos and video are not allowed anywhere inside the chapel.
Do I need to book Cappella Sansevero in advance?
Yes. All visits are booked ahead, and slots often sell out days or weeks before in busy months.
Is the Veiled Christ really carved from one piece of marble?
Yes. The veil and the body were carved from a single block, which is why it looks so hard to believe.
