Lonely Planet review for Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore

Standing on the site of a pagan temple, the austere Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore is one of Naples' oldest churches, built by St Severus in the 4th century. Despite a thorough restyling by designaholic Cosimo Fanzago in the mid-17th century, the earthy Palaeo-Christian apse survives. (The right-hand nave of the church was demolished to make way for Via Duomo in the late 19th century.) The third chapel features frescoes by Francesco Solimena.
