Santa Maria di Monteverginella, Naples, Medieval Catholic church in historic center, Naples, Italy.
The church interior displays a Latin cross layout with a single nave, five chapels on each side, and decorative marble elements throughout the space.
Bartolomeo di Capua, advisor to King Robert of Anjou, established the church complex in 1314, incorporating an existing shrine of Santa Maria di Alto Spirito.
The ceiling features three large canvas paintings from 1728 by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro, depicting Saint Benedict and other Benedictine religious figures.
The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and continues to function as an active place of worship under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Naples.
A fragment from an exploded American warship landed in the church cloister during wartime without causing damage to the historical structure.
