San Giovanni Battista delle Monache, Naples, Baroque church in Via Costantinopoli, Naples, Italy.
The church presents a Latin cross layout with lateral chapels housing paintings from influential Neapolitan artists of the 17th and 18th centuries.
Francesco Antonio Picchiatti designed the church between 1673 and 1681, while Giovan Battista Nauclerio added the facade during the 18th century.
The adjacent cloister of San Giovanniello transformed into the Naples Academy of Fine Arts during the 19th century urban redevelopment.
The church remains closed since 2011 for extensive restoration works, with all movable interior decorations relocated to protect them.
The building experienced damage from the 1930 earthquake, leading to a 40-year delay before restoration efforts began in 1970.
