Church of 1694 at the Pignasecca, deconsecrated since 1957; the painter Bernardo Cavallino was baptised here.

On via San Liborio, in the heart of the Pignasecca market, the church was built in 1694 as a parish seat near the monastery of Santa Maria della Carità. It held a Saint Liborius by Paolo De Matteis.In 1957 it was closed and deconsecrated because it was unsafe, and the parish returned to Santa Maria della Carità. Sources record that the painter Bernardo Cavallino and Domenico Scarlatti were baptised here. Today we can only admire it from outside, among the market stalls.
