San Giovanni a Carbonara, Gothic church near Via Foria, Naples, Italy.
The church features a monumental double staircase entrance leading to the main portal, which displays a fresco-decorated lunette by Leonardo da Besozzo.
Founded by Augustinian monks in 1343, the church received land from nobleman Gualtiero Galeota with the requirement to dedicate it to Saint John the Baptist.
The interior holds multiple Renaissance sculptures, including the large sepulchral monument of King Ladislaus of Durazzo and decorative works in the Caracciolo chapels.
Located at Via Carbonara 5, the church welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM with free admission.
The name Carbonara derives from the location's past function as a municipal waste collection point where garbage was burned outside the city walls.
