San Giuseppe delle Scalze a Pontecorvo, Naples, Baroque church in Naples, Italy.
The San Giuseppe delle Scalze church features three architectural levels with statues and openings designed to illuminate the interior space.
Built in 1619 on the site of Palazzo Spinelli, the church underwent major reconstruction between 1643 and 1660 under architect Cosimo Fanzago.
The Greek cross layout with four corner chapels reflects the central plan designs characteristic of Neapolitan religious architecture.
The wooden truss roof, constructed in the 1990s, maintains structural integrity, allowing local organizations to hold events within the building.
The 1980 earthquake caused the ceiling to collapse, resulting in the loss of numerous frescoes and interior decorative elements.
