Santa Maria Egiziaca a Pizzofalcone, Naples, Baroque church in Pizzofalcone district, Naples, Italy
The church entrance features a grand staircase leading to a convex facade with large wooden doors opening into a welcoming courtyard.
The original structure, established in 1616 by Augustinian sisters, underwent significant modifications between 1648 and 1716 under architects Cosimo Fanzago and Francesco Picchiatti.
The marble main altar from 1738 displays the coats of arms of noble families who funded the construction, demonstrating the connection between religion and aristocracy.
The church contains multiple artistic treasures, including wooden statues by Nicola Fumo representing the Guardian Angel, Immaculate Conception, and Saint Michael Archangel.
The interior layout follows two overlapping Greek crosses, creating a symmetrical design that differs from traditional Baroque church architecture.
