Just west of the church of the Girolamini is the Duomo or cathedral of Naples; San Gennaro. This is the site of the famous Miracle of San Gennaro; twice a year his dried blood (in a vial) liquefies. The façade of the cathedral is a riot of gothic architecture, most of which dates from the late 19th century. The three portals however are supposed to date to the 13th century.
The via Duomo itself is a narrow street lined with shops and even some trees!
