Church of Sant'Aspreno ai Crociferi - Jago Museum

The church of Santa Maria del Rosario alle Pigne acquired this title because, until the first quarter of the 17th century, two pine trees stood in the area. The church was designed by Arcangelo Guglielmelli (1648-1723). Entirely Baroque in style, both inside and out, the plan is rectangular with side chapels and a vestibule with a double flight of stairs to allow access to the sacred space above. The place of worship is annexed to the conventual complex of the same name and to a late Renaissance cloister, which today belongs to the city of Naples and is used as a school building. The church was closed after the 1980 earthquake and did not reopen until 2017 for sacred services.

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 church of Santa Maria della Stella was built in 1571 to house an image of the Virgin previously on a hill overlooking the Sanità valley. It was rebuilt in 1587 by Domenico Fontana to larger dimensions, at the request of the Minims Fathers who owned the church and its convent. It was redesigned several times during the 17th century. Bartolomeo Picchiatti (a pupil of Fontana) began work on the marble and piperno façade, which was completed in 1734 by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro. Part of the rich interior decoration was lost forever in the fire of 1944.
