The Certosa di San Martino was consecrated in 1368. It was given a purely Gothic style which in 1600 will be converted into Baroque. It will be in the following century that the Maddalena chapel, the Refectory and the Cloister will be annexed.
Among the personalities who worked there, Giordano, Vaccaro and De Mura stand out. In 1866 Fiorelli will establish the museum that was intended to preserve the “homeland memories” of the city.
