Santa Maria Maggiore della Pietrasanta, Naples
Santa Maria Maggiore della Pietrasanta, Naples, Former church on Via Tribunali, Naples, Italy.
The domed structure follows a Greek cross layout with an 11th-century bell tower and multiple chapels containing religious artworks and altarpieces.
Originally built in 533 on a Temple of Diana site, the church underwent reconstruction in 1654 under architect Cosimo Fanzago's direction.
The Renaissance Capella Pontano, erected in 1492 by Giovanni Pontano, stands adjacent to the entrance as a testament to architectural evolution.
The structure maintains evidence of a paleochristian basilica in its crypt, which visitors can examine during scheduled visiting hours.
The main altar area displays works by Giuseppe Bonito and followers of Luca Giordano, representing Neapolitan Baroque artistic traditions.
