Santa Teresella degli Spagnoli

Santa Teresella degli Spagnoli features neoclassical architecture with symmetrical proportions, white stone facades, and traditional ecclesiastical design elements reflecting 18th-century Italian construction methods.

The church emerged during the development of Quartieri Spagnoli in the 16th century, when Spanish military garrisons established this district to maintain control over Naples.

The building stands among narrow streets where local residents maintain Neapolitan traditions, including street markets, artisan workshops, and traditional food establishments.

Visitors can reach the former church by taking metro line 1 to Toledo station or line 2 to Montesanto station, followed by a short walk through the Quartieri Spagnoli.

The structure occupies a position at coordinates 40.837373, 14.2444, amid a grid network of eighteen streets that characterize the Spanish Quarter's military-planned layout.
