About Certosa di San Martino
The Certosa di San Martino was founded in 1325 as a Carthusian monastery under Angevin rule above Naples. Cosimo Fanzago and other artists remodeled its church in an ornate Baroque style during the seventeenth century. As one of the wealthiest monastic houses in southern Italy, it held a central place in the kingdom's religious and artistic life.
