Church of San Carlo all'Arena, Naples, Neoclassical church building in Via Foria, Naples, Italy
The Church of San Carlo all'Arena features an elliptical interior design with marble decorations and a grand facade supported by Ionic pilasters.
Construction began in 1621 under architect Silvestro Cordella, following designs by Dominican Giuseppe Nuvolo, and Cistercian monks completed the building in 1681.
The church contains a marble crucifix created by Michelangelo Naccherino in 1599, which was transferred from the Basilica of the Holy Spirit.
Visitors can access the church via the L2 metro line at Cavour station, with service hours from 7:00 to 8:30 in the morning and 16:30 to 17:30 in the evening.
The name Arena refers to the sandy path that characterized this area, where water from nearby hills deposited sediments over time.
