San Nicola a Nilo, Naples, Baroque church in Via San Biagio dei Librai, Naples, Italy

San Nicola a Nilo features a central Greek cross plan and a circular room decorated with Corinthian columns along its perimeter.

The church emerged from an orphanage established by pharmacist Sabato Anella in 1647 following Masaniello's revolution in Naples.

The structure represents a fine example of Neapolitan Baroque architecture designed by Giuseppe Lucchese Prezzolini in 1705.

The church stands across from Palazzo Diomede Carafa at Via San Biagio dei Librai number 10 in central Naples.

Following the 1980 Irpinia earthquake, the abandoned church complex transferred to the Community of Sant'Egidio for preservation.
