Ospedale degli Incurabili, Naples, Baroque church complex in Naples, Italy

The Ospedale degli Incurabili includes two churches, Santa Maria del Popolo and Santa Maria dei Bianchi, along with a historical pharmacy containing 400 maiolica vases.

Maria Lorenza Longo established the hospital complex in 1521 to provide medical care for people with conditions considered untreatable during the Renaissance period.

The Church of Santa Maria del Popolo displays numerous frescoes by Italian artists Francesco De Mura and Giuliano Bugiardini, alongside a funereal monument by Giovanni da Nola.

The complex now houses the Museo delle Arti Sanitarie of Naples, which presents exhibits about medical history and traditional pharmaceutical practices from the region.

The hospital pharmacy, designed by Bartolomeo Vecchione in the 1750s, preserves its original decorative elements, including painted ceilings and hundreds of antique pharmaceutical containers.
