Santa Caterina a Chiaia, Baroque church in Chiaia district, Naples, Italy
Santa Caterina a Chiaia features a Latin cross layout with symmetrical side chapels and a central dome supported by four round arches.
The church originated as a small family chapel called S. Caterenella before its expansion by the Franciscan order around 1600 with Gonzaga family funding.
The interior displays artistic representations of Saint Catherine's life, including a notable dome fresco created by Gustavo Girosi in 1916.
Located on Via Santa Caterina 76 near Piazza dei Martiri, the church remains an active place of worship in the commercial heart of Naples.
Eight windows encircle the base of the 1601 dome, creating natural illumination patterns throughout the central worship space.
