CHIESA DI SAN FERDINANDO
Single nave church with a painting of Saint Ferdinand by Filipo Maldarelli from Naples
This church, built in 1622 by the architect Cosimo Fanzago and extensively rebuilt in 1767, originally belonged to the Society of Jesus and was dedicated to San Francesco Saverio (St. Francis Xavier, a Spanish Jesuit missionary). In the second half of the 18th century it changed its name in honour of the King of Naples Ferdinand I of Bourbon. Single-nave interior where most of the paintings depict San Francesco Saverio. Saint Ferdinand appears nevertheless at the high altar in a painting by the Neapolitan Filippo Maldarelli.
