Baroque church on via Costantinopoli designed by Francesco Antonio Picchiatti; the former monastery houses the Academy of Fine Arts.

On via Santa Maria di Costantinopoli, the church of San Giovanni Battista delle Monache was built between 1673 and 1681 by Francesco Antonio Picchiatti; the façade dates from the following century, by Giovan Battista Nauclerio.The monastery was enormous, with six cloisters and six belvederes. In the 19th century the opening of via Conte di Ruvo divided it, and the former convent became the seat of the Academy of Fine Arts, still here today. The cloister of San Giovanniello survives.
