Pio Monte della Misericordia

Nestled in the heart of Naples, the unassuming octagonal Pio Monte della Misericordia houses a remarkable collection of Renaissance and Baroque art. The church’s most celebrated piece is Caravaggio’s ‘The Seven Acts of Mercy,’ a dazzling work that stands as one of the city’s most important artistic treasures. Visitors can also explore the chapel and Quadreria Gallery, which feature a small but impressive array of other masterpieces from the same period. The church’s unique octagonal design and its rich artistic heritage make it a compelling destination for those interested in both architecture and fine art.
