Chiesa di Sant'Antonio a Posillipo
Chiesa di Sant'Antonio a Posillipo, Baroque church in Posillipo, Italy
The church features a single nave layout with three chapels on each side, crowned by a bell tower with a rectangular base and octagonal belfry.
Franciscan friars initiated the construction of the church and an adjacent convent in 1642, in an area that contained four rural villages near Mergellina.
The church houses significant religious artworks, including a 17th-century wooden crucifix and a wooden statue of Saint Anthony used in traditional processions.
Visitors can reach the church through the Tredici discese di Sant'Antonio ramps, via Minucio Felice, or by taking the funicular from Mergellina to Sant'Antonio station.
The church complex maintains connections to an ancient Greek aqueduct system, with water cisterns that were restored during renovation works in 1883.
