Next to the church are the lovely 14th-century cloisters (Chiostro delle Clarisse), converted in 1742 into a country garden of shaded walkways and Capodimonte ceramic tiles a delightful haven of tranquility and one of Naples' most charming spots.
The cloisters are over five hundred years old.
By the Early Bronze Age (c. 3200 b.c.  2200 b.c. ), people had begun fortifying their towns, building temples and palaces, and founding the first city-states.
