A 15th-century church in Caponapoli with a magnificent interior and a portal by Francesco Di Palma; rarely open, exterior under restoration.

On the square of the same name, in Caponapoli, stands a church whose interior rivals the great churches of Naples, but which unfortunately opens only rarely. It was begun in 1447 by the hermits of Blessed Peter of Pisa and completed in 1473.In the 16th century it was restored and received the portal by Francesco Di Palma. In recent decades it has suffered thefts and neglect; in 2025 restoration work began on the façades. We suggest keeping an eye out for special openings.
