Santa Maria della Sanità, Naples, Baroque basilica in Rione Sanità, Naples, Italy.
The basilica features a circular layout with a raised presbytery, incorporating a Greek cross plan and access to underground catacombs.
Architect Giuseppe Nuvolo designed and constructed the basilica between 1602 and 1613, building it above the ancient catacombs of Saint Gaudiose.
The interior holds numerous marble holy water fonts from the 17th century, along with chapels containing frescoes by prominent Neapolitan artists.
The basilica welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with access through the main entrance at Piazza Sanità 14.
The elliptical cloister, designed by Giuseppe Nuvolo, stands as an architectural innovation despite modifications caused by the 19th-century Ponte della Sanità.
