Church of Gesù NuovoPhoto: Fondazione Mazzola beta, Fondazione Mazzola - Sentieri per tutti
The church has an ancient and fascinating history, beginning in 1470, when it was built as a noble palace for the Sanseverino family, princes of Salerno. The palace was later confiscated and purchased by the Jesuits in 1584, who turned it into a place of worship, but kept the characteristic rusticated facade with projecting pyramids made of piperno stone and the Renaissance marble portal. They called it "Church of the New Jesus" because they had already built a church dedicated to Jesus in 1568 (now known as Basilica Santuario del Gesù Vecchio).
The interior of the church is a splendid example of Neapolitan Baroque. Prominent among the chapels is one dedicated to St. Joseph Moscati, the doctor of the poor, canonized in 1987 by Pope John Paul II, where his body is kept.
