A late 17th-century church in the Santella district, a stone's throw from the Royal Palace, beloved by Luigi Vanvitelli.

A few hundred metres from the Royal Palace, in the historic Santella district, stands the late 17th-century Church of Sant'Elena. Inside, frescoes from the period can still be glimpsed.We love the story linking it to Luigi Vanvitelli: it was his favourite church and, living in an adjoining palazzo, the architect had a small balcony opened so he could follow Mass straight from home. We recommend looking up to spot it.
