- One of the joys of staying in Naples has been walking around the Chiaia neighbourhood and glimpsing into all the alleyways, exploring old buildings, getting lost and finding my way again.
In this week's film I take you to Santa Maria in Portico, a magnificent church behind an abandoned looking exterior.

What a beautiful church
Absolutely stunning, the light within the church is magical!
Just beautiful ! Great photography
Thank you x
Aah - one of the many beautiful churches in Italy!!!! Gloriously built to exalt our Lord. Enjoy your stay.
It is a beautiful place. X
Absolutley beautiful. One of my favourite thiings when I travel is to be curious and poke my nose around corners and peer into buildings and courtyards which might be off the beaten track. You never know what beauty might be lurking there!
Thank you. Yes I think that is the perfect way to spend a holiday - nosing about all the hidden courtyards. X
Stunningly beautiful...thank you for sharing....
My pleasure 😊
Wow! The interior of the church is absolutely breathtaking! What a treat that must have been to experience. Watching your footage of the church brought tears to my eyes, just a glorious sight! Thank you for sharing this Jane!
The interiors are very like music in the way they express and impact emotions so well. X
Oh my word what a beautiful place thank you ❤
Thank you for watching x
Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful photos of the church. It's so beautiful! Not the colors I would have expected.
How amazingly beautiful Jane.
All the more wonderful give the rather neglected exterior. Lovely to explore it this morning thankyou. Elspeth
Thank you. I am very intrigued by the gap between exterior and interior here which manifests in so many things.
Oh wow! What a beautiful interior. A real treasure to find.
It was such a surprise, all the light from the dome. I’m glad that you enjoyed it. X
Wow! That's absolutely beautiful. The colours are amazing and at the same time so restful. What a wonderful find 😊x
It is amazing - such a contrast to the exterior x
What a fabulous clip. I love your holiday it’s like being there……thank you❤ 5:58

What an absolute treasure you found. Beautiful and so well kept.
There are so many of these hidden treasures all over the city. X
My jaw literally dropped! Thank you!
Thanks for watching Anita. X
Oh my goodness, how beautiful 💛
Isn’t it amazing Jen? X
Wow! Such a contrast between inside and out! It's a place that doesn't need to wear its riches on its sleeve. Loving your Naples series.x
Thanks Wendy. X
Beautiful church, thank you for sharing, you are doing something I would have done in my younger years, but didn’t, now 82 & enjoying my travels via podcast like yours, from the San Francisco Bay Area CA USA
Thank you so much Barbara.
The interior of the church is so beautiful. I love joining you on your travels around Naples.
Thanks so much Elizabeth. X
Yes it’s one of the things I used to enjoy too in Europe. I was there as a graduate student for 5 weeks. I used to love the churches - they didn’t look like much from the outside but even a small church used to be so beautiful inside. I especially loved the stained glass windows. This was in Bonn, Germany and Brussels - the cobbled stone alleys were narrow, and you could just imagine someone walking down an alley 200 years ago and almost you can hear the horses going clippity clop on the cobblestones! The church you photographed was stunning. In all of them, I used to feel like taking so many pictures just because they were so unique and beautiful!
It is such a privilege to be able to go inside and I know exactly what you mean about the horses. Yesterday I went to visit a nearby Palazzo which has a display of carriages - all beautifully restored - and you could see how they fitted into the streets in a very different way to the cars - much higher, much more swaying, the noise of the horses. J x
That was mystical, beautiful, and soul fulfilling. Thank you!
Thank you Carol. I’m glad that you enjoyed it. X
Aww this is just glorious. Remarkable in every way. I’m glad it all aligned that you had the fortunate position to enter in. ❤
Thanks Kathy - yes the hours the gate is unlocked seem very random! It was very fortunate J x
Thank you Jane how beautiful and what a lovely surprise. ❤
I am loving these posts. Thank you so much🌷🌸
Thanks Marjorie. X
new subscriber delighted! Just popped into my 60’s so i am starting to muse just a bit about traveling mayyybe a bit..🤷♀️😬💖😶🌫️.. still will have to work and still have a herd of cats to get across, but i am opening the door just a crack!
Thanks for subscribing Lesley - I hope that you get to do it. This week’s video is going to be about how I set up my work routine here. X
Love your storytelling! My family & I were in Naples in late 2018 & were blown away by its energy & hidden beauty. You must visit Pompeii & Herculaneum while you’re there. ☠️
I just love the city. We went to Herculaneum last year when we were here for a couple of days, and have booked a guide for Pompeii on Friday. I’m really looking forward to having someone take us around and explain exactly what we are looking at. J x
