Noticeable in the Mergellina neighborhood for its bright red facade, this beautiful church was built in 1529. The highlights are:

• The balconies on the upper half of the facade.
• 16th century Chapel with a nativity scene.
• 1770 organ
• 18th century high altar with polychrome wood statue of Madonna and Child.
• Jacopo Sannazzaro's tomb
• Three entrance portals on the lower facade.

And do take your eyes away from the church to admire the lovely view of the gulf outside.

• Buses C16, C21, C24 stop Capolinea Mergellina
• Funiculare F4 Mergellina
• Drive to here or take a taxi.
