Originally a 16th century Dominican monastery this church is now more famous for its location right above the Catacombs of San Gaudioso. That said, it’s certainly pretty. Noticeable for its green and golden majolica dome on the outside, the church’s interiors are even more arresting with tonnes of pure Baroque frescoes painted on the inside - they are some of the best Neapolitan art in the city. There’s a 17th century marble pulpit, an early 18th century organ, a 5th century chapel.
