Gesù delle Monache

Gesù delle Monache is a Roman Catholic church located near the Porta San Gennaro in central Naples, Italy.

The church of Gesù delle Monache was completed in 1582 by the Montalto family, and was affiliated with a Clarissan nunnery.

[1] The late-Renaissance style façade is sober relative to the decorated Baroque interior, the latter designed by Arcangelo Guglielmelli.

Paintings in the church were made or attributed to Cesare Turco, Lorenzo Vaccaro, Enrico Pini, Fabrizio Santafede, Nicola Cacciapuoti, Francesco Solimena (St Clare in Glory), Paolo De Matteis (Scenes of the Life of St Clare).

The maiolica pavement was completed by 1731 by Francesco Della Monica and Agostino Di Filippo.
