Although unknown to the general Spanish public, it is necessary to point out that in the funerary chapel of the Caracciolo de Vico family and more specifically in the altarpiece dedicated to the Adoration of the Three Wise Men, the foundations of the first sculpture of the Renaissance that influenced so much were laid. had in Neapolitan artistic circles as in the introduction of the forms of Italian classicism in the Iberian Peninsula. A careful visit to this magnificent space is mandatory, where a great chapter in the history of art of the first Cinquecento represented by the Castilians Bartolomé Ordóñez and Diego de Siloe is written.

I didn't know this monumental church which spans construction from 1300 to 1500 and which represents the exaltation of the tombs dedicated to noble families of the time and truly fascinating pictorial and sculptural creations. The guides told us the story with anecdotes and in great detail. Another Church that is certainly worth an in-depth visit.
