Santa Maria del Parto a Mergellina, Naples, Renaissance church in Mergellina district, Naples, Italy.
The church stands on top of a private building, featuring a single nave with three chapels on each side and marble decorations throughout.
King Frederick I of Aragon donated the land to poet Jacopo Sannazaro in 1497, leading to the construction of both an upper and lower church.
The marble tomb of Sannazaro contains statues initially representing Apollo and Minerva, later renamed as David and Judith for religious appropriateness.
Visitors can access the church through a stairway behind a restaurant in Piazza Mergellina, with daily opening hours from 7:30 to 12:00 and 17:30 to 19:30.
On the 25th of each month, the lower church traditionally hosted prayers for women seeking pregnancy or expecting children.
