Convitto Pontano alla Conocchia, Convent in Rione Sanità, Naples, Italy.

The Convitto Pontano alla Conocchia stands as a large religious structure with multiple floors in the northern section of Naples.

The building served as a Jesuit college until the mid-19th century when the religious order faced expulsion from Naples in 1848 and 1860.

This former Jesuit institution transformed into a state-owned infectious disease hospital during the cholera epidemic of 1884, receiving a visit from King Umberto I.

The building remains unused since the 1980s closure of the Francesco Giordani Technical Institute, with limited access to its premises.

The convent's name derives from a nearby Roman columbarium called Mausoleo della Conocchia, which stood until its unauthorized demolition in 1965.
