Santa Maria della Mercede e Sant'Alfonso Maria de' Liguori, Baroque church in Naples, Italy.
The church features white stone walls, ornate decorations, and a facade with volutes and obelisk elements designed by Ferdinando Sanfelice in 1706.
The building originated in the second half of the 16th century as a center for an organization dedicated to freeing Christians captured by Mediterranean pirates.
The main altarpiece, painted by Giacomo Farelli in 1672, depicts the Virgin with child among slaves waiting for liberation from their captors.
Located at Via San Sebastiano 1, near Port'Alba gate, the church stands at the intersection with Via Santa Maria di Constantinopoli in central Naples.
The church preserves the relics of Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, who abandoned his noble status to become a priest, symbolized by laying down his sword.
