Church on via Toledo, between piazza Carità and piazza Dante, rich in works by Francesco Solimena and the great painters of the 18th century.

Strolling along via Toledo, halfway between piazza Carità and piazza Dante, it is worth stepping into San Nicola alla Carità. Founded in 1647 by the Pii Operai fathers, it was designed by Onofrio Gisolfi and completed, after the plague of 1656, under the direction of Cosimo Fanzago.Inside we find a true gallery of 18th-century Naples: Francesco Solimena painted the vault, the transept and the inner façade, alongside other great painters of the age. A relic of Saint Nicholas, brought from Scala, is also kept here.
