15th-century, Giuseppe Valeriani-designed facade of Palazzo Sanseverino, converted to
create the church. Inside, it's a baroque affair, with greats like Francesco Solimena, Luca
Giordano and Cosimo Fanzago transforming the barrel-vaulted interior into the frescoed
wonder that you see today. Puncturing the Piazza del Gesù Nuovo is Giuseppe Genuino's
lavish Guglia dell'Immacolata OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP () , an 18th-century obelisk.

(Porta Nolana; 8am-6pm Mon-Sat, to 2pm Sun; R2 to Corso Umberto I) Bellies rumble at this
evocative street market, one of the city's best. The market's namesake is medieval city
gate Porta Nolana , which stands at the head of Via Sopramuro. Its two cylindrical towers,
optimistically named Faith and Hope, support an arch decorated with a bas-relief of
Ferdinand I of Aragon on horseback.
The mercato itself is an intoxicating place, where bellowing fishmongers and frutti
vendoli (greengrocers) mix it with fragrant delis, bakeries and a growing number of ethnic
food shops.
