San Gennaro ad Antignano, Minor basilica in Arenella-Vomero district, Naples, Italy.

The basilica displays a Latin cross layout with three naves divided by grey granite columns topped with white marble Corinthian capitals.

The construction of the current basilica started on December 27, 1904, following the demolition of an earlier chapel from medieval times.

The interior contains notable artworks including a mosaic of Saint Januarius in prayer and a polychrome wooden statue by Gaetano Chiaromonte.

The structure combines yellow Neapolitan tuff blocks and red bricks in its facade, featuring a wooden truss ceiling design.
