Santa Maria Incoronata, Gothic church near Castel Nuovo in Naples, Italy

Santa Maria Incoronata features vaulted ceilings with intricate frescoes depicting the Seven Sacraments and Old Testament scenes along its interior walls.

Queen Joanna I of Naples commissioned this church in 1364 to preserve a spine from Christ's crown of thorns received from Charles V of France.

The frescoes by Roberto d'Oderisio represent medieval Neapolitan art and display members of the Angevin dynasty within religious compositions.

Located at Via Medina 54, the church stands 350 meters from Toledo metro station and maintains regular opening hours for visitors.

The church floor sits three meters below current street level due to ground elevation changes from Castel Nuovo's construction.

Location: Naples

Inception: 1352

Founders: Joanna I of Naples
