Santa Maria della Fede, Baroque church in Naples, Italy.

Santa Maria della Fede features a travertine facade designed by Giovan Battista Soria with a Latin cross layout and a single nave interior filled with stucco decorations.

The church received its name following the Catholic victory at the Battle of the White Mountain in 1620, where an image of Mary reportedly affected the outcome.

The interior houses multiple chapels decorated by noble families, containing artworks from prominent painters including Guercino, Nicolas Lorrain, and Domenichino.

Visitors can access the church through regular opening hours, with guided tours available to explore the architectural details and historical artifacts within the building.

The church contains Gian Lorenzo Bernini's sculptural masterwork depicting The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa d'Avila, created between 1647 and 1652 in white marble.
