Santa Maria delle Anime del Purgatorio ad Arco
A visit to the so-called Church of Skulls (“cape ’e morte”), of the 1600s, is an amazing journey into Neapolitan culture, art, religion, life and death. From the church, one can then descend into what the Greeks called the hypogeum, or the under world, that still houses the fascinating cult of the “abandoned” souls.
