Trinitarian church of 1573 in the Quartieri Spagnoli, linked to freeing prisoners captured by pirates.

On the square of the same name, at the edge of the Quartieri Spagnoli, the church of the Santissima Trinità degli Spagnoli was founded in 1573 by a group of citizens and later handed over to the district's Spaniards.It then passed to the Trinitarian fathers, an order founded to free prisoners who had fallen into the hands of pirates: they collected offerings to pay the ransoms. A story that recalls how dangerous the Mediterranean was for the Neapolitans of the time.
