At the beginning of Via Tribunali, we find the Pontano Chapel, a small noble chapel commissioned in 1492 by the famous humanist Giovanni Pontano, secretary of King Ferdinand of Aragon. Built on the outline of a pagan temple, the splendid construction represents one of the most significant architectural episodes of the Neapolitan Renaissance. Inside the chapel you can admire the fresco triptych by Francesco Cicino da Caiazzo (restored in 1792) and the fifteenth-century floor, made of polychrome tiles and well preserved. The Latin phrases of the numerous epigraphs were written by Pontano himself.
