Baroque gem of 1663 inside Palazzo Ricca on via Tribunali, with an 18th-century clock on the courtyard façade.

On via Tribunali, in the courtyard of Palazzo Ricca, lies hidden the chapel of the Monte dei Poveri, one of the most important Baroque chapels in Naples. It was built in 1663 to a design by Don Giuseppe Caracciolo.The palazzo, seat of the Monte founded in 1563, now holds a large historical banking archive. The chapel's façade, remodelled in the 18th century, is crowned by a clock from 1740; the interior is a small jewel of marble and decoration.
