Chiesa delle Crocelle ai Mannesi, Gothic Revival church in central Naples, Italy
The Chiesa delle Crocelle ai Mannesi displays pointed arches, twin windows, and Lombard bands across its rectangular single-nave structure with elaborate moldings.
Architect Filippo Botta constructed this religious building in 1882 on the former site of Santa Maria di Porta Coeli church of the Camillian fathers.
The name Mannesi refers to the carriage makers who worked in this Naples district, while Crocelle derives from the crosses worn by Camillian priests.
Located near Via Duomo in Piazza Crocelle ai Mannesi, this deconsecrated church stands within Naples Historic Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Young Enrico Caruso, who later became a renowned opera tenor, started his singing career performing in this church during his teenage years.
