The façade is designed with geometric panels in relief that are also repeated on the adjacent façade of the convent and ends with a triangular tympanum with an oculus. Also valuable is the portal, entirely in stone, composed of two columns that rest on high bases and support a frieze surmounted by a semicircular tympanum, decorated with figurative elements. Inside, at the end of the nave, there is the high altar in marble and the wooden canopy, carved and gilded, on which is placed the group of the triumph of the Blessed Virgin surrounded by Angels, the work of the Neapolitan sculptor Alfonso Postiglione. The Church is part of a convent complex managed by the Friars Minor Observant, in which the cloister of significant value and the decorations on the lunettes, depicting episodes from the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, stand out. read less
