Seventeenth-century church in the historic centre created by closing off an alley, near Sant'Angelo a Segno and the Purgatorio ad Arco.

In the heart of the historic centre, a stone's throw from via Tribunali, Sant'Angelo a Segno and the Purgatorio ad Arco, stands this church, created in the mid-17th century by closing off a stretch of alley between vico San Severino and via San Paolo.Old maps of Naples clearly show the route of the vanished street. It was originally called Santi Pietro e Paolo agli Archi del Purgatorio and belonged to the community of the "Corteggiani". Today it is the seat of the archconfraternity of Santa Maria della Sanità.
