A small 18th-century chapel along the panoramic ramps climbing from Mergellina to Sant'Antonio a Posillipo.

Climbing from Mergellina along the panoramic Rampe di Sant'Antonio, shortly after the start of the path, we come across a small chapel on the left. The plaques tell us it was founded in 1726 and restored in 1890. Inside is an 18th-century painting of the Madonna and Child, sadly marked by time.We recommend walking up the ramps slowly, enjoying the view over the gulf: continuing upwards you also find another votive shrine, built in 1842, which holds a majolica panel with the scene of Calvary. It is a short walk that combines popular devotion with some of the finest views in the city.
