Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, Napoli, NA, Italia

Description

Taking its name from the church, Piazza San Domenico Maggiore is at the crossroads of two important thoroughfares in the historical centre of Naples: Spaccanapoli, which links the piazza to the nearby piazza del Gesù Nuovo, and via Mezzocannone. The church’s apse, its upper part enclosed in a cornice of merlons, emerges behind the Obelisk of San Domenico, by Francesco Antonio Picchiatti, a votive offering from Neapolitans who survived the plague of 1656.

The square was commissioned by Alfonso I of Naples who was also responsible for the grand staircase to the side of the apse of the Church of San Domenico Maggiore. Other buildings on the square include: Palazzo Petrucci, Palazzo Saluzzo di Corigliano, now the Università L’Orientale, Palazzo di Sangro di Casacalenda, Church of Sant'Angelo a Nilo also known as Cappella Brancaccio, Palazzo Carafa della Spina and Palazzo di Sangro.
