Santo Spirito dei Napoletani, Catholic church on Via Giulia in Regola district, Rome, Italy
Santo Spirito dei Napoletani is a baroque church on Via Giulia in the Regola district that displays the typical architecture of its era with a central nave and side chapels. The interior features decorated walls and religious artworks that reflect the careful attention of those who built and maintained it.
The church traces its origins to 1574 when the Confraternity of the Holy Spirit of the Neapolitans acquired a deteriorating building and rebuilt it from the ground up. After centuries of use, the structure underwent major restoration work and reopened to the public in 1986.
This church served as a gathering place for Neapolitans living in Rome and reflects their ties to their homeland through its art and design. Visitors can observe how the community maintained its identity and faith within these walls over the centuries.
The church is located at Via Giulia 34, within walking distance of other sights in the historic center. Visitors can enter during daytime hours, though opening times may be limited on certain days.
From 1934 to 1984, this church served as the final resting place of King Francis II of the Two Sicilies and members of his family. Their royal tombs were later transferred to Naples, making this a rare chapter in Rome's history.
