Basilica di Santa Maria della Sanità

Church

👍👍 This church is located in the (rather infamous) neighborhood called Sanità. (In fact, the neighborhood Rione Sanità has a special charm, it is not possible to visit Naples and not go there). The Basilica of Santa Maria della Sanità is impressive, but a little neglected. Its beauty and artistic treas...

Ex Chiesa di Santa Maria della Misericordia ai Vergini

Church

👍👍 At the entrance to the Vergini market, where you really don't expect it, you discover this fantastic jewel of Neapolitan baroque: the Church of Santa Maria della Misericordia, with its hypogeum from a previous era, brought to light by the stubbornness and passion of a group of artists and professors...

Chiesa di Santa Maria della Vittoria

Church

Church of Saint Joseph of the Ruffis

Catholic church

👍👍 Beautiful church, located on a high podium on the corner of via Duomo. Like many other Neapolitan churches it has a double façade which gives it a rare lightness and acts as a filter between the noisy external environment and the silence of the interior. There would be a lot to say about the archite...

Water museum

Museum

👍👍 Suggestive and engaging! The guide, a girl whose name I don't remember, was very knowledgeable; between the narration he gave and the surprises reserved for visitors along the way, I was so involved that I felt, for a moment, catapulted into that era! I liked it very much!

Complesso Monumentale Vincenziano

Chiesa Parrocchiale di Via Santa Brigida

Saint Michele Arcangelo

Catholic church

👍👍 This church is a flower of historic Naples but it offers you a great sense of sight only if you are trained for it. You have to read for its own characteristics. It's worth giving some time during your visit.

Church of Saint Anne 'di Palazzo'

Catholic church

👍👍 A jewel in the heart of the Spanish neighborhoods to be known and appreciated. A special thank you to Sister Paola from the Efraim center who introduced me to it☺

Chiesa della Santissima Trinità - Arciconfraternita della SS. Trinità dei Pellegrini

Catholic church

👍👍 I was in the SS Trinita' dei Pellegrini church for the presentation of a book. I was amazed by the size of the interior, I didn't expect it, being the church in the courtyard of a hospital complex in the center of Naples. Not to mention the frescoes and the large vault. Another beauty of the city to...

Chiesa di Santa Teresa a Chiaia

Catholic church

👍👍 Imposing church right at the end of Via dei Mille, when the street begins to climb and changes its name to via Vittoria Colonna. And to think that the modernization of the road system deprived us of the majestic staircase that led to the church designed by Fanzago. Also beautiful inside, with works...
