San Gennaro, Baroque church in Capodimonte, Naples, Italy
The church features detailed altarpieces, ornate decorations, and elaborate architectural elements that characterize the Neapolitan Baroque style in religious buildings.
Architect Ferdinando Sanfelice designed this religious structure in 1745, during a period when Naples experienced substantial development in religious architecture.
The church contains artworks by Jusepe de Ribera, including the painting San Gennaro Emerging Unharmed from the Furnace created in 1647.
