Santissima Annunziata Maggiore, Naples

The original church was destroyed by fire in 1757. The reconstruction followed a design by Luigi Vanvitelli, and was completed by his son Carlo. The ground plan followed the pattern developed in the sixteenth century for the Roman church of Il Gesù.

The photo shows the façade of the church.
