Napoli - Santa Chiara
Napoli is the regional capital of Campania and the third-largest city of Italy. Its metropolitan area has a population of more than 3 million.
Founded by Greek settlers before 900 BC, Napoli was an important part of Magna Graecia and played a major role in the merging of Greek and Roman society.
Following the decline of the Western Roman Empire Napoli was shortly ruled by the Ostrogoths. Byzantine troops captured the city in 536m but after the Byzantine exarchate Ravenna fell a Duchy of Naples was created. Over centuries the Duchy´s relations to Rome or Byzanz were hard-fought. In 836 Napoli could repel a siege of Lombard troops with the help of the Saracens, what did not prevent Muhammad I Abu 'l-Abbas in the 850s loot Napoli. In the 11th century, the Duchy hired Norman mercenaries and about 1140 it came under Norman control under Roger II, then King of Sicily.
In 1228 Emperor Frederick II founded the first university in Europe here, making Napoli the intellectual centre of the kingdom. The conflict between the House of Hohenstaufen and the Papacy led in 1266 to Pope Innocent IV crowning the Angevin duke Charles I King of Sicily. Charles officially moved the capital from Palermo to Napoli.
In 1282 after the "Sicilian Vespers", a successful rebellion on the island of Sicily against the rule of King Charles I, the Kingdom of Sicily was divided into two. The Angevin Kingdom of Naples included the southern part of the Italian peninsula, while the island of Sicily became the Aragonese Kingdom of Sicily.
By the 17th century, Naples had become Europe's second-largest city – second only to Paris – with around 250000 inhabitants.
The basilica is part of a former Poor Clare convent. It is the burial place of the Neapolitan kings from the two Capetian dynasties House Anjou and House Bourbon-Sicily.
The monastic complex was built in 1313–1340 by Queen Sancha of Majorca and her husband King Robert of Naples. The church was erected in traditional Provençal-Gothic style. After the building was partially destroyed by a fire after bombings during World War II, it was brought back to the alleged original state by a disputed restoration, which was completed in 1953.
Some of the former convent buildings now host a museum. Here is, what could be "reconstructed" after the bombings had destroyed the church during WWII.
So many works of art share the fate of the Buddhas of Bamiyan.
