Church of Santa Maria La Nova

The Churhc is inside in a Complesso Monumentale di S. Maria la Nova that is an authentic treasure chest of history, art and religiosity. Founded on May 10, 1279 on the hill overlooking the ancient Angevin port of Naples, this ancient Franciscan convent stands in the heart of the city's historic center. Over the centuries it has undergone numerous transformations, reflecting the different sensibilities and artistic styles that have followed one another. Its walls enclose traces of artistic stratifications, testifying to a rich and varied past.

Every corner of the Complex tells a story: from Renaissance sculptures to Baroque frescoes, from masterfully decorated chapels to works of art that adorn every space. The ability to bring together different styles and sensibilities makes S. Maria la Nova a place of particular interest and rare beauty. This fusion of historical and artistic elements offers a unique environment, where spirituality and culture meet.

Today, S. Maria la Nova is not only a monumental site of great historical and artistic value, but also a prestigious location that hosts numerous events including concerts of “Opera e Lirica” in the wonderful Chiesa Monumentale.
