Santa Maria dei Vergini, Baroque church in Borgo dei Vergini, Naples, Italy.

The Santa Maria dei Vergini church features a monastery complex and architectural elements including a cupola and choir along via Vergini street.

The construction of the church began in 1724 under Father Gargiani with designs by Luigi Vanvitelli, reaching completion in 1760, while the facade concluded in 1788.

The church stands in an area named after the Eunostidi fratria, an ancient Greek group dedicated to the god of temperance and chastity.

Located near the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, the church underwent restoration following damage from World War II bombings in 1943.

The original structure served as a crypt and burial place during the Great Plague of 1656, reflecting its role in Naples medical history.
