Église Maria Santissima del Carmine, Gothic and Baroque church in Mercato district, Naples, Italy.
The Church of Santa Maria del Carmine Maggiore features a 75-meter bell tower decorated with Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian architectural elements.
The church, established in the 13th century by Carmelite friars from the Holy Land, witnessed the execution of Conradin in 1268 at its adjacent square.
The Carmine Festival takes place annually on July 15th, with the traditional lighting ceremony of the bell tower drawing numerous participants.
Located at Piazza del Carmine 2, the church opens at 6:30 AM for morning services and 4:30 PM for afternoon worship, with varying weekend schedules.
The church houses a wooden crucifix that reportedly moved to avoid a cannonball during the 1439 conflict between Alfonso of Aragon and Robert of Anjou.
