San Severo al Pendino, Naples, Former Renaissance church in Naples, Italy

The church exhibits a Greek cross layout with two chapels, adorned with 18th-century decorations and marble elements throughout its interior spaces.

Founded in 1448 by Pietro Caracciolo as Santa Maria a Selice, the structure underwent reconstruction from 1599 to 1620 by architect Giovan Giacomo Di Conforto.

The building contains the funereal monument of Giovanni Alfonso Bisvallo, created in 1617 by sculptor Girolamo D'Auria, representing Renaissance craftsmanship.

The building now functions as an exhibition space, hosting conferences and cultural events in the historic center of Naples near Via Duomo.

The church served as the first location of Naples State Archives in 1818 before returning to religious use under Filippo Botta's guidance in 1845.
