Sant'Andrea delle Dame, Naples, Baroque architectural complex in Naples, Italy
The Sant'Andrea delle Dame complex includes a chapel, cloister with piperno pillars, and former monastic buildings arranged around a central courtyard.
Four daughters of notary Andrea Palescandolo established the Augustinian monastery in 1580, with the church opening ceremony taking place in March 1587.
The interior contains frescoes by Belisario Corenzio and an altar with mother-of-pearl inlays created by Dionisio Lazzari during the 17th century.
The complex now serves as the medical faculty headquarters of the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, following its transformation from religious to educational use.
The structure stands on an ancient Greek acropolis and features a belvedere-style cloister known as Torretta reale, added to the complex in 1748.
