Sanctuary of the Madonna of Pompeii – It's also worth a stop to see this lovely19th century basilica in the center of "modern" Pompeii. The inside of the church is beautifully adorned with lovely mosaics and a gem-enrusted canvas of the Madonna and child. You can ride the elevator to the top of the bell tower for a bird's eye views of the Gulf of Naples.
