Santi Pietro e Paolo dei Greci, Greek Orthodox church in historic center, Naples, Italy.
The church features a simple stone facade with rectangular windows and houses a collection of post-Byzantine religious artworks and decorative elements.
Thomas Asen Palaiologos, who fled Constantinople after the Ottoman invasion, founded this religious building between 1470 and 1582 while serving Ferrante of Aragon.
The interior contains fifty post-Byzantine icons, with forty pieces created by Eustachio Caruso from Cephalonia, representing Greek Orthodox artistic traditions.
Located at Via San Tommaso d'Aquino 51, the church maintains regular services following Byzantine rites for the local Greek Orthodox community.
The building underwent a transformation from Catholic to Orthodox worship in 1544, marking a shift in Naples' religious landscape during Turkish expansion.
