2 Best Sights in Centro Storico, Naples

This piece is by controversial street artist Banksy. Located on a wall in front of the grand facade of the chiesa dei Girolamini, the church where the 17th-century philosopher Giambattista Vico is buried, the stencilled La Madonna con la Pistola sits behind a protective glass screen and attracts a regular trickle of devotees.

Internationally renowned Neapolitan-Dutch street artist Jorit completed this 50-foot mural in September 2015 to honor the feast-day (September 19) of the city's patron saint. In a nod to Caravaggio, he used the face of a factory-worker friend. Jorit also has murals, including those of Diego Maradona and Che Guevara, in the Parco dei Murales in San Giovanni di Teduccio, 3 miles to the east, and in Vomero.
