Chapel of San Giuda Taddeo Apostolo, Catholic chapel in Angri, Italy.
The Chapel of San Giuda Taddeo Apostolo sits on the ground floor of Palazzo de' Sabatino at Via Incoronati 6 and features traditional religious architecture with sacred objects. The space combines classic design with the personal devotion of worshippers who come here to pray.
The chapel was founded in the 15th century by the noble Carrozza family from Lettere and was originally called the Chapel of Purgatory. It later took on its current name and became a place of worship serving many generations of believers.
The chapel's names record its history: it was called Cappella del Purgatorio, then De Angelis after the noble family that owned the building, and only under the de' Sabatino family took the name of Saint Jude Thaddeus, also called Labbeo to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot. The street and quarter are still called Incoronati, after the de' Coronati family.
Religious services have not been held in the chapel for many years, so it cannot be visited as an active place of worship. It occupies the ground floor of the Renaissance Palazzo de' Sabatino, on the street now called Via Incoronati, in the rione de' Coronati. Access depends on the building, so ask locally before planning a stop.
In 1865, Saint Alfonso Maria Fusco created an oratory next to the chapel to establish a community called de' Luigini. This facility focused on helping local children and showed a deep commitment to supporting young people in the area.
