Gesù e Maria Complex, Baroque monastic complex in Pontecorvo district, Naples, Italy.

The Gesù e Maria Complex contains a church with two bell towers and a monastery building that has been converted into a hospital.

Dominican friar Silvio d'Atripalda established the complex in 1580 on land obtained from Ascanio Coppola, with Domenico Fontana redesigning it in 1585.

The church interior featured notable artworks, including the 'Adoration of the Shepherds' by Fabrizio Santafede, now displayed at the Capodimonte Museum.

The monastery section functions as a medical facility, while the church remains closed since 1979 due to structural concerns and safety issues.

In 1895, the hospital within the complex established the Blue Cross School, among the first professional nursing institutions in Italy.
