Basilica Santa Croce, Minor basilica in Torre del Greco, Italy.

The basilica features three naves arranged in a Latin cross layout, decorated with white stucco work and columns of Corinthian style.

Following the Vesuvius eruption of 1794 that destroyed the original church, the reconstruction began in 1795 under architect Ignazio di Nardo's direction.

The basilica holds the remains of Saint Vincent Romano, who was canonized in 2018 and played a key role in the church's reconstruction.

The church maintains regular opening hours from 7:30 to 12:30 and 16:30 to 20:00 daily, offering religious services throughout the week.

The pipe organ installed in 1976 contains over 2000 pipes across three keyboards, providing music during liturgical celebrations.
