The church of the enclosed monastery founded in 1593 by Duke Ferdinando Caracciolo, now home to the Poor Clares.

The church of Santa Maria Regina Coeli was commissioned by Duke Ferdinando Caracciolo from 1593 and completed in the early 17th century. A bull of Urban VIII turned the women's conservatory into an enclosed monastery.In 1866 its property was confiscated and auctioned, but the nuns managed to recover it thanks to offerings from the faithful. Since 1932 the monastery has been home to the Poor Clares.
