Chiesa di Sant'Antonio Abate

The 16th-century church of Santa Maria degli Angeli alle Croci is one of the most remarkable Baroque churches in Naples. It was built in 1581 with the adjoining Franciscan convent. After a reform of the order, the convent was transformed into a college and the complex was rebuilt in 1638 by Cosimo Fanzago, who also redecorated the interior. Since 1815, the former convent has housed the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Naples.

The construction of the church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli began in the 17th century, at the same time as the convent of the same name, which was founded and assigned to the Reformed conventual Fathers of San Lorenzo. A restoration programme was carried out under the direction of Francesco Antonio Picchiatti (1662-65), with the collaboration of Cosimo Fanzago and Domenico Tango. The monastery, which after the unification of Italy was named after Princess Maria Clotilde of Savoy, now houses a public school.

The long process of the construction of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta (13th century but refitted until the 20th century) is reflected in the overlapping of many architectural styles from Gothic to Baroque to Neo-Gothic.
