Santa Restituta, Gothic basilica in Naples, Italy
Santa Restituta features a central nave with two lateral aisles separated by 27 ancient columns inside the Naples Cathedral complex.
Emperor Constantine established the basilica in the 4th century on the former site of an Apollo temple, making it Naples' earliest Christian church.
The church preserves early Christian frescoes and architectural elements from both paleochristian and Angevin periods within its stone walls.
Visitors can access Santa Restituta through the left nave of Naples Cathedral during regular opening hours throughout the week.
Archaeological excavations beneath the apse revealed a Greek wall, parts of a Roman aqueduct, and remnants of an imperial residence.
