Santissima Trinità delle Monache, Baroque monastery complex in Spanish Quarter, Naples, Italy.

The Santissima Trinità delle Monache stands as a massive former monastery with an octagonal layout connected by a rectangular presbytery section.

Built in 1608 under architect Francesco Grimaldi's direction, the complex was established by noblewoman Vittoria de Silvia who chose religious life over marriage.

The structure contains marble telamons crafted by Cosimo Fanzago in 1625 and features stucco statues of San Filippo Neri and San Gennaro on its facade.

The building currently functions as a military hospital, while its original church section now serves as a pharmacy within the complex.

The dome of the church collapsed during an earthquake in 1897 and remained unrestored, while its paintings by Giuseppe Ribera moved to Capodimonte Museum.

Location: Naples

Architectural style: baroque architecture
