Sant'Angelo a Nilo, Gothic-Renaissance church in Spaccanapoli district, Naples, Italy
The church stands diagonally across from San Domenico Maggiore, featuring a main portal with an architrave decorated with carved angels and medieval frescos.
Cardinal Rainaldo Brancacci established the church in 1385 as a chapel dedicated to Saints Angel and Mark near his family palace.
The Renaissance tomb of Cardinal Brancacci, created by Donatello and Michelozzo between 1426 and 1428, represents the first Renaissance artwork in Naples.
The church is accessible via Metro Line 1 at University station and multiple bus routes including R2, 202, 460, and E1.
The church name originates from Egyptian merchants who brought the veneration of the Nile River to this area of Naples.
