Lonely Planet review for Chiesa San Giovanni a Carbonara

Built on the site of an Angevin carbonarius (waste disposal and incineration site), the Chiesa San Giovanni a Carbonara is a Gothic church, chapel and cloister complex famed for its priceless booty of sculpture. Ferdinando Sanfelice’s 18th-century double-flight staircase leads up to the church, in which the colossal mausoleum of King Ladislas soars 18m behind the main altar. Fusing Renaissance and Gothic styles, it was a collaborative effort between Andrea de Firenze, Tuscan sculptors and northern Italian artists.
