Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo

Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo features frescoes, stucco and marble decorations dating back to the 16th century and include some of the area’s best artists up to the 19th century. Examples include the Expulsion of Eliodorus from the Temple, a fresco by Francesco Solimena as well as Cosimo Fanzago’s statues of Jeremiah and David.

Outside of Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo, you will be fascinated by the Guglia dell'Immacolata, a tall pile of reliefs and statues, located on the piazza. This spire, created by Matteo Bottighero and Francesco Pagano in 1750, depicts Jesuit saints and the story of Mary and was built to celebrate a major point of the Jesuits’ teachings.
