Santa Maria Antesaecula, Baroque church in Rione Sanità, Naples, Italy.
The church features a Greek cross layout with an apsed presbytery and contains a notable facade set back from the street level.
In 1622, the Santa Maria a Sicola monastic complex relocated to Sanità district due to the area's unplanned building development.
The church name Antesaecula evolved from Sicola, referencing a passage from the biblical Book of Sirach in religious tradition.
The building now functions as a healthcare facility, providing medical services to residents of the Rione Sanità neighborhood.
Recent renovations uncovered a putridarium, a specialized chamber historically used for the draining of deceased bodies.
