San Strato a Posillipo, Naples, Renaissance church in Posillipo, Italy

San Strato a Posillipo stands on a hill with its white walls and Renaissance elements overlooking the Bay of Naples from the Posillipo district.

The church dates back to 1266 when Greek Orthodox converts requested its construction over an ancient Greco-Roman temple site in Naples.

The wooden statue of San Strato, created by Giacomo Colombo under the influence of Francesco Solimena, represents local artistry within the church.

The church reopened for worship in 1982 after extensive restorations and now welcomes visitors daily through its main entrance on Via Posillipo.

Between 1572 and the 18th century, the church underwent multiple reconstructions and survived earthquakes in 1930 and 1980.
