Santa Maria Donnaromita, Naples, Former church in Naples, Italy.

The Renaissance structure features a decorated ceiling crafted by Giovanni Andrea Magliuolo and painted by Teodoro d'Errico between 1587 and 1590.

The site was established in 1025 by nuns from Constantinople who fled iconoclasm, initially naming it Monasterium Monialum Santa Mariae de Percejo de Constantinopoli.

The interior displays ten canvas paintings depicting Virtues and an Adoration of the Magi from 1728, created by Francesco de Mura.

The building, located on Via Paladino at coordinates 40.848016, 14.256251, now functions as an engineering school following its religious decommissioning.

Duke Theodore rests in an ancient Roman sarcophagus within the chapel, while the main altar contains sculptures by brothers Bartolomeo and Pietro Ghetti.
