On Salita Betlemme, in Chiaia, the complex of Santa Maria di Betlemme was created in the 17th century by transforming the villa of Carlo Tappia, built at the beginning of the century; the convent opened in 1653.Enclosed by four streets, it had a façade with a giant order and a sumptuous piperno portal, two courtyards on different levels, a cloister and a garden. An example of how noble villas became convents.
