San Gennaro all’Olmo, Naples, Baroque church in Via San Gregorio Armeno, Naples, Italy.

The church interior features polychrome marble decorations, stucco ornaments, and detailed maiolica floor tiles from the Baroque period.

Originally established in the seventh century by Bishop Sant'Agnello, this religious building stands as the first Naples church dedicated to Saint Januarius.

Armenian monks seeking refuge from Byzantine persecution brought sacred relics of Saint Gregory and Saint Blaise to this church in the eighth century.

The deconsecrated building now operates under Fondazione Giambattista Vico management, hosting various cultural events throughout the year.

The church name originates from a tall elm tree that once provided shade to visitors at its entrance.
