San Pietro a Majella, Gothic church in central Naples, Italy
The church features three naves supported by pillars, numerous chapels, and a main altar adorned with a 15th-century wooden crucifix and religious frescoes.
Giovanni Pipino da Barletta, a knight of Charles II of Anjou, established the church in the early 14th century and his tomb remains inside the building.
The monastery building adjacent to the church houses the Naples Conservatory of Music since 1826, preserving manuscripts of classical composers like Scarlatti and Rossini.
The church stands at the western end of Via dei Tribunali, making it accessible from the historic center of Naples through the main pedestrian street.
The ceiling paintings by Mattia Preti depict scenes from the lives of Saint Peter Celestine and Saint Catherine of Alexandria in detailed narrative sequences.
