San Giuseppe dei Ruffi, Naples, Baroque church in Naples Historic Center, Italy
San Giuseppe dei Ruffi sits at Via dell'Anticaglia entrance, featuring a double-staircase ramp leading to its main facade with a distinctive pediment.
In 1604, Neapolitan noblewomen Cassandra Caracciolo, Ippolita and Caterina Ruffo established the church by converting the Arcella family palace into a monastery.
The interior displays marble decorations by Neapolitan craftsmen, with Francesco de Mura's dome frescoes depicting The Glory of Saint Joseph from 1741.
The church opens Monday through Saturday from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with limited Sunday hours until 10:30 AM.
The church structure underwent multiple architectural phases, incorporating three separate domes added between 1699 and 1734 by different master builders.
