Santa Maria a Piazza, Roman Catholic church in Forcella district, Naples, Italy
The church stands at Piazzetta Forcella in central Naples, featuring architectural elements that reflect different construction periods throughout its existence.
The church origins date back to 901, with local traditions suggesting an earlier foundation by Emperor Constantine in the 4th century.
The building contained wooden crucifixes from Sant'Agrippino a Forcella church and 17th-century canvases of the Holy Family and Nativity scenes.
The structure remains in a deteriorated condition, requiring extensive restoration work to preserve its remaining architectural features.
The bell tower, which stood until 1924, represented one of the oldest religious structures in Naples, dating from the 10th century.
