Central-plan church on the Pizzofalcone hill, designed by Cosimo Fanzago and approached by a theatrical staircase.

On the Pizzofalcone hill, on the street of the same name, Santa Maria Egiziaca is approached by a theatrical staircase. The complex was born in 1639, when five Augustinian nuns came here from Forcella and founded a convent beside a small church.The original design is by Cosimo Fanzago, but the work, which lasted until 1716, passed to Francesco Antonio Picchiatti and Arcangelo Guglielmelli, who altered it considerably. Today it is the seat of the parish of the Immacolata a Pizzofalcone.
