San Paolo Maggiore, Minor basilica in Naples, Italy.
The basilica features two Corinthian columns with architraves integrated into its facade, remnants of an ancient temple dedicated to the Dioscuri.
Francesco Grimaldi directed the reconstruction of San Paolo Maggiore in 1538, transforming the structure with additions of a transept and polygonal apse.
Artists Massimo Stanzione, Dionisio Lazzari, Domenico Antonio Vaccaro, and Francesco Solimena contributed their works to enhance the basilica's interior decoration.
Located at Piazza San Gaetano 76, the basilica offers free entry and stands within walking distance from Cavour metro station.
The sacristy, completed in the early 1690s by Francesco Solimena, survived World War II bombings in 1943 and maintains its original fresco decorations.
