The first thing people usually notice about this 13th century Neapolitan Baroque church is its 75 metre belltower. Coming close, you’ll find the marks of destruction left over from WWII. But its only when you step inside that you’ll be taken aback - the sheer wealth of  stucco, carved wood, polychrome marble, gildwork, frescoes and maiolica can overwhelm the unprepared. Check out the monument to Conradin of Swabia, the various altarpieces, the 12th century icon of the virgin in Chapel of the Virgin del Carmelo and the sacristy frescoes.

There is a monument to the fallen of WWI to the left of the church.
