Santa Maria della Salute, Baroque church in Naples, Italy

The Santa Maria della Salute church features spiral staircases leading to an elevated main altar made of polychrome marble and multiple side chapels.

The Dominican monastery, established in 1577, evolved into the current church structure, which was constructed between 1602 and 1613 by architect Giuseppe Nuvolo.

The church houses numerous artistic works, including frescoes by Bernardino Fera and paintings by Giovanni Balducci and Luca Giordano depicting religious scenes.

The church stands above the Catacombs of San Gaudioso, located at coordinates 40.855166 latitude and 14.238006 longitude in the Metropolitan City of Naples.

The crypt beneath the church contains ten shallow altars decorated with frescoes and serves as the burial site of San Gaudioso, a North African bishop.
