Spire of the Immaculate Virgin, Religious monument in Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, Naples, Italy.
The marble spire rises above the square, adorned with sculptures and decorative elements that represent religious symbols and figures throughout its structure.
The construction of this religious monument began in the early 1700s as part of a series of spires built across Naples following plague epidemics.
During annual celebrations, local residents gather around the spire to participate in traditional ceremonies dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Visitors can reach the monument through the Toledo metro station, located within walking distance of Piazza del Gesù Nuovo.
The spire belongs to a collection of three principal Neapolitan obelisks that mark different points across the city's historical center.
