San Francesco delle Monache, Former monastery church in Spanish Quarter, Naples, Italy.
The San Francesco delle Monache features a Baroque architectural design with polychrome marble decorations throughout its interior and a reconstructed facade from 1750.
The church and monastery complex was established in the 14th century through the patronage of Robert of Anjou, who commissioned its construction for the Order of Saint Clare.
The church contains notable ceiling canvases in the nave attributed to Balducci and his disciples, representing religious themes from different artistic periods.
The building currently functions as the Domus Ars Cultural Center, providing a space for various community activities and artistic performances in Naples.
