Santa Maria Donna Regina Vecchia, Gothic church in Naples, Italy
The church features pointed arches and a faceted apse topped with a trussed wooden roof, incorporating French architectural influences in its design.
Built in the 8th century and reconstructed after an earthquake in 1293, the church received funding from Queen Mary of Hungary for its Gothic transformation.
The interior walls display 14th-century frescoes by Pietro Cavallini depicting the life of Christ and stories of saints across two distinct levels.
Located at coordinates 40.8545, 14.2585, the former church remains open for visitors interested in medieval religious architecture and art.
The tomb of Mary of Hungary, created by Tino da Camaino, shows angels drawing curtains to reveal the queen wearing a Poor Clare habit.
