Iglesia de Gesù Redentore y San Ludovico d'Angiò, Gothic church in Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, Naples, Italy.
The church features a single nave with wooden trusses on the ceiling and a stone altar, decorated with notable frescoes and religious artwork.
Originally built in 1317 as a refectory for Franciscan friars, the church later became part of the Santa Chiara monastery complex for Clarisse nuns.
The interior contains a 14th-century lunette depicting the Crucifixion and a rhomboid fresco showing Christ holding the Gospel with Saints Francis and Clare.
The church reopened in December 2007 after extensive restoration work and now serves as an active place of worship in Naples city center.
Behind the main altar extends the Clarisse nuns' choir area, featuring a significant fresco by Lello da Orvieto dating from approximately 1340.
