Give Pulcinella's big nose a scratch

Nice door :)

The Sanctuary  The large complex, visible for its elevated position with respect to the entire plain, is connected to the street level through a large and suggestive staircase in piperno. The building, constructed in the 17th century around the small original temple, bears the signature of the architect Giovanni Paolo di Ambrogio di San Severino. It has a Greek cross plan with a single nave: in the center of the transept stands a majestic dome. The façade is adorned with a beautiful portal with Corinthian columns. Inside the church there is a small temple built by the feudal lord Girolamo Barone and most likely created by Cosimo Fanzago. In this temple there is a painting of the Madonna, in grotesque style, attributed to the painter Tommaso di Stefano. The octagonal drum of the temple is frescoed with images and episodes of the life of the Madonna. On the outside there are eight false windows, interspersed with images of the eight prophets. On the frame, supported by double pillars, you can admire the frescoes of Belisario Corinzio, representing themes inspired by the Divine Comedy: the Dance of Death, the Last Judgement, Hell and Paradise. To the left of the Sanctuary there is a small cloister, with a central pillar and a canopy, as well as the museum of the sanctuary, which houses the remains of works of art, altar marbles, a wooden pulpit, some chandeliers and the photographic reproduction of the works that were destroyed in the fire of 1989.

Small, publicly accessible terrace with a great view of Naples and Vesuvius. Also note the accompanying traffic sign!

The gate is solidly built

Strategically positioned in a typical Neapolitan street, this statue does not go unnoticed. Tourists flock to the surrounding streets, attracted by the promise of luck and prosperity that Pulcinella brings. It is a deep-rooted tradition to touch Pulcinella’s nose, which brings good luck and fortune to adventurers and visitors who immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere of the pulsating heart of Naples.

The Porta Capuana is a monumental gate of the 15th century that was once part of the fortified walls of the city of Naples. It marked the entrance to the decumanus maximus of the ancient city of Neapolis. (Wikipedia)
