Church on via Orazio in Posillipo, along one of the most famous views in Naples; built from 1946 for the Vincentian fathers.

On via Orazio, in Posillipo, along one of the most panoramic stretches of the city, stands the church of San Gioacchino. It was born of the devotion of a Vincentian brother, Giuseppe Epifani, who according to tradition saw the saint in a dream.In 1945 a benefactor donated the land on condition that a church dedicated to Saint Joachim be built there; the first stone was laid in 1946. When visiting, let's make the most of the view over the bay that opens up along via Orazio.
