The church of an old convent between Avvocata and Arenella, which passed through several religious orders and was entrusted to the Franciscans from 1621.

On the border between Avvocata and the Arenella, the Church of Santa Maria della Salute was the chapel of a 16th-century convent, abandoned in 1534 after a collapse and then restored by local residents.Over the decades it passed to nuns, Augustinians and other orders, until in 1621 it was entrusted to the Reformed Franciscans, who enlarged it and stayed until 1865. The former convent later became housing, while the church recalls the religious roots of this hilly part of the city.
