Sant'Eframo Vecchio, Baroque church in central Naples, Italy.
Sant'Eframo Vecchio is a Baroque church in central Naples featuring a majolica-tiled facade with decorative oval designs. The interior displays the characteristic structure of a small urban church with side altars and chapels arranged along its length.
The church was founded in the 16th century by the Capuchin order on a site connected to early Christian traditions. In the 19th century the Capuchins handed over the monastic buildings to a community of religious women who took root there.
The church remains an active place of worship for the local Catholic community under Franciscan care. Visitors notice the ongoing spiritual life that shapes how people use this space today.
The church sits in a central Naples neighborhood and is accessible on foot. Remember this is an active place of worship, so visitors should be respectful of ongoing services and prayer times.
The majolica tiles on the facade were designed by a local artist in the 18th century and reflect Naples' ceramic tradition. These hand-crafted decorative details reveal how the city's artisans brought beauty to its religious buildings.
