Sacro tempio della Scorziata, Baroque church in historic center, Naples, Italy.
The Sacro Tempio della Scorziata stands in Vico Cinquesanti displaying baroque architectural elements with elaborate decorations and carved details typical of 17th-century religious buildings.
Founded in 1579 by three Neapolitan noblewomen including Giovanna Scorziata and the Paparo sisters, the church was originally managed by Theatine fathers as part of a larger religious complex.
The church houses important Neapolitan artworks including altarpieces and frescoes depicting episodes from the life of Mary, representing the rich religious artistic tradition of the region.
Located in Naples' historic center near other religious monuments, the church is currently closed to the public due to structural damage requiring restoration work funded by European Union programs.
A hidden underground fresco depicting the Crucifixion from the second half of the 16th century was discovered in a secret chamber beneath the main structure.
