Church of All Saints at Borgo Sant'Antonio
The church was built in the 15th century, thanks to alms given by the people living in the borgo extramoenia (the district just outside the old city walls), near Porta Capuana. The structure was extensively restored in the centuries that followed and today it forms a picturesque part of the lively local market held among the streets of Borgo Sant'Antonio (known in Neapolitan as ‘Bùvero’).
The Church of All Saints is a historic church in Naples located on Via Sant'Antonio Abate.
History
The façade features a simple portal in grey piperno stone, topped by a round window. Inside there are numerous panel paintings and canvases, as well as a 16th-century Pietà. The rooms of the sacristy are also of considerable importance.
