San Gregorio Armeno, Baroque church in Naples historic center, Italy.
The church features a single nave with five side chapels, a ceiling with wooden panels, and baroque decorations covered in gold leaf throughout the interior.
The church construction started in 1572 under architect Giovanni Francesco Mormando, following the arrival of Armenian monks who brought Saint Gregory relics from Constantinople.
The monastery nuns held the original recipe for pastiera napoletana, a traditional Easter cake that became a symbol of Neapolitan culinary traditions.
The church opens Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 12:00, and weekends from 9:00 to 13:00, with access through San Gregorio Armeno street.
The church houses the remains of Saint Patricia in a dedicated chapel where, according to local beliefs, her blood periodically liquefies similarly to Saint Januarius.
