SAN LORENZO BASILICA

In the macellum area an early-christian basilica was erected and later connected and partly overlaid by the 14th-century gothic church of San Lorenzo Maggiore, restructured in a baroque manner. The bell tower was built in 1487 beside it, people gathered together on important occasions. Between the bell tower and the church, a 15th-century gateway, adorned with the coats of arms of the Neapolitan sedili (quarters), provides the current access to the Cloister and to the monumental Complex of San Lorenzo Maggiore.
