Lonely Planet review for Chiesa Santa Maria Incoronata

The beautiful Gothic arches of the Chiesa Santa Maria Incoronata date to the mid-14th century. Situated on the sunken site that Charles I of Anjou had earmarked for his planned Castel Nuovo, the church was built on the wishes of Giovanna of Anjou, who wanted somewhere to conserve a fragment of her most precious relic - Jesus' crown of thorns.

Now used an exhibition space, it's worth a stop for the 14th-century frescoes by Roberto Oderisi.
