Santa Maria del Rosario a Portamedina, Naples, Baroque church in Quartieri Spagnoli, Naples, Italy.

Santa Maria del Rosario a Portamedina features a semi-hexagonal portico with stucco decorations and a rounded arch supporting the choir tribune.

The church, established in 1568 by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, underwent substantial reconstruction between 1724 and 1742 with Domenico Antonio Vaccaro's influence.

The entrance portal displays a Rococo sculptural group depicting Our Lady of the Rosary seated with the Child Jesus, surrounded by two angels.

The church currently functions as a chapel for the adjacent Istituto Giovanna d'Arco school and remains closed to general public access.

The interior layout follows a central plan with two side chapels and a rectangular apse, distinguished by its absence of a dome despite vaulted ceilings.
