Santa Maria Donnaromita, Naples, Former church in Naples, Italy.
Santa Maria Donnaromita is a former church in Renaissance style located in Naples with an intricately designed ceiling. The vault was crafted between 1587 and 1590 by Giovanni Andrea Magliuolo and painted by Teodoro d'Errico, creating an ornate overhead display.
The building was founded in 1025 when nuns from Constantinople fled iconoclasm and established the site. It evolved over centuries into an important religious location within the city.
Inside, ten canvas paintings display Virtues alongside an Adoration of the Magi created in 1728 by Francesco de Mura. These artworks shaped the spiritual experience of visitors during the Baroque period.
The building sits on Via Paladino and now functions as an engineering school after being decommissioned as a church. Visitors should note this is an active educational facility, so access may be limited.
Duke Theodore rests within an ancient Roman sarcophagus housed in a chapel inside the building. The main altar displays sculptures created by brothers Bartolomeo and Pietro Ghetti, adding remarkable artistic value.
