Rome-Naples June 2026

Rome – Naples

Chiesa Gesù Nuovo. This impressive church holds the remains and has a display of the office and living quarters of a local saint. Built in 1584–1601 by the Jesuits, it retains the unusual facade of rustic ashlar diamond projections of the previous structure, a 1470 palace for Roberto Sanseverino, Prince of Salerno. The Jesuits were expelled from Naples in 1767, and the church passed to the Franciscan order. It returned to the Jesuits from 1821 till 1848, when they were expelled again.
