Pendino church documented as early as 923, also called Sant'Arcangelo agli Armieri; long owned by the Abbey of Cava.

On via San Giovanni in Corte, in the Pendino district, stands a very ancient church: a document of 923 already records it near the walls. The name "in corte" probably recalls an old court.It was under the patronage of the Bocciaboccia family and was later given by the Dukes of Naples to the Benedictines of the Abbey of Cava. It is also known as Sant'Arcangelo agli Armieri, after the nearby armourers' street.
