San Nicola alla Carità, Naples, Baroque church in via Toledo, Naples, Italy.

San Nicola alla Carità features three aisles, side chapels, and a Latin cross layout with polychrome marble decorations throughout the interior space.

The church construction started in 1647 through a 6000 ducats donation, but faced delays due to the 1656 plague before completion in 1682.

The interior houses numerous artworks, including frescoes by Francesco Solimena depicting Saint Nicholas's life and paintings by Paolo De Matteis.

Located between Piazza Carità and Piazza Dante, the church opens its basement during Christmas season to display traditional Neapolitan Presepes.

The church serves as the burial site of painter Bernardo Cavallino and Father Antonio Torres, who aided plague victims in 1656.
