Hermitage of Camaldoli, Renaissance monastery on Camaldoli hill, Naples, Italy

The religious complex stands at 485 meters above sea level, offering views of the Phlegrean Fields, Cape Miseno, the islands, and Mount Vesuvius.

The monastery, designed by architect Domenico Fontana, was built in 1585 on the site of an ancient chapel founded by Saint Gaudiosus in 439.

The church interior contains paintings by Neapolitan artists including Giovanni Bernardino Azzolino, Luca Giordano, Massimo Stanzione, Cesare Fracanzano, and Federico Barocci.

Since 1998, Bridgettine nuns manage the complex, offering guided tours, accommodation services, and the opportunity to participate in liturgical activities.

The monastery features sixteen monastic cells with individual gardens, a chapter house with frescoes by Evangelista Schiano, and a pharmacy selling honey and herbal teas.
