Basilique du Saint-Esprit de Naples, Baroque basilica on Piazza Sette Settembre, Naples, Italy.

The basilica extends 80 meters in length and features fourteen tall Corinthian columns supporting a dome that reaches 70 meters in height.

Construction began in 1562 with a small church, followed by expansions between 1572 and 1576 under architects Pignaloso Cafaro and Giovanni Vincenzo Della Monica.

The main altar, designed by Antonio di Lucca in 1773, displays sculptures by Paolo Persico and includes a painting of Pentecost in the apse.

The basilica maintains regular opening hours for visitors and stands near the Doria d'Angri Palace along Via Toledo, a central location in Naples.
