Madre del Buon Consiglio, Minor basilica in Capodimonte district, Naples, Italy.
The Madre del Buon Consiglio rises on a hillside near Capodimonte Palace, featuring baroque revival architecture and a design inspired by Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Construction of the basilica took place between 1920 and 1940 above the ancient Catacombs of San Gennaro, with official inauguration occurring in 1960.
The basilica houses numerous artworks rescued from closed churches across Naples, creating a collection that preserves the city's religious artistic heritage.
Located at Via Capodimonte 13-14, the basilica maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural and artistic elements.
During the 1980 earthquake, the Madonna statue's head fell from its position but remained completely intact upon impact with the ground.
