Gesù Nuovo

Why go

The Jesuits converted the Sanseverino palace into a church while keeping its unusual façade. That surviving stone skin makes the building's change of purpose visible from Piazza del Gesù Nuovo. Inside, marble and frescoes replace the exterior's severe geometry; the shrine of Giuseppe Moscati adds a later devotional layer.

What to look for

• The diamond-point stone façade inherited from Palazzo Sanseverino
• The polychrome marble and frescoed chapels
• The shrine of Giuseppe Moscati

Useful to know

• Look at the palace façade from the square before entering; the contrast is the point of the visit.
• Cross the square to Santa Chiara to compare two very different religious complexes.
