San Potito, Former church in Naples, Italy
The San Potito church displays curved lines and ornate decorative elements characteristic of the 17th-century religious architecture in southern Italy.
The construction of San Potito occurred during the Counter-Reformation period when Catholic churches incorporated theatrical architectural elements to attract worshippers.
The interior design of San Potito reflects the Naples religious traditions through its intricate frescoes and sculptural elements that connect with local devotional practices.
San Potito stands in the central district of Naples, with several public transportation options available within walking distance of the building.
The church features specialized techniques of trompe-l'œil painting on its ceiling, creating an optical illusion of extended height toward the sky.
