Santa Maria la Scala

Santa Maria la Scala is a Baroque style church in a Piazzetta of the same name in Naples, Italy.

As trade between Naples and Scala declined, the church fell in disuse.

The church was reconstructed in the 17th and 18th century as the home of various lay and religious confraternities.

Among those buried in the church are men who were faithful to the Bourbon Monarchy, and who were arrested on June 13, 1799, and the next day executed on the grounds of Capodimonte by a firing squad set up by the Neapolitan Republic of 1799.

The third chapel also has a canvas depicting the Resurrection by Paolillo, a pupil of Andrea di Salerno.
