Chapel of the Congregation of Monte dei Poveri

Chapel of the Congregation of Monte dei Poveri, Baroque chapel in central Naples, Italy.

The Chapel of Monte dei Poveri stands inside the courtyard of Palazzo Ricca, featuring marble decorations and detailed sculptural elements throughout its structure.

The chapel, designed by Don Giuseppe Caracciolo in 1663, housed religious services for the organization that provided financial assistance to people in need.

The interior displays masterful works of Italian artists, including Luca Giordano's Circumcision from 1673 and Francesco Solimena's Annunciation and Nativity paintings.

The chapel remains closed for religious services but visitors can find it within the premises of the Istituto Banco di Napoli Foundation's historic archives.

The chapel contains a preserved organ from 1685 and a majolica clock with bell tower added to its exterior in 1751.
