Scenic Baroque church of 1681 in Pagani, with marble altars, 17th-century canvases and a Vietri majolica floor.

Along Corso Padovano, in Pagani, the Church of Santa Maria della Purità was built in 1681 over a very old chapel dedicated to Saints Felix and Constantia, who according to tradition were martyred here. It was founded as part of an enclosed convent and is today also the sanctuary of the Infant Jesus of Prague.We are won over by its theatrical, scenic Baroque façade. Inside, with a single nave, we suggest looking at the marble altars, the frescoed vault, the inlaid and gilded wooden choir and the 17th-century Vietri majolica floor. Above the high altar hangs the canvas of the Madonna della Purità, the heart of devotion here.
