A small seventeenth-century church on Via dei Tribunali that houses one of the most important paintings in Naples: Caravaggio's "Seven Works of Mercy" (1607), painted for the altar and still in its original location. The work is large — over 3.5 metres wide — and depicts the corporal acts of mercy compressed into a single dark, crowded street scene with figures emerging from shadow in the Caravaggio manner.
The church is open to visitors; the upper floor gallery contains more seventeenth-century Neapolitan painting. This is one of the least crowded of Naples's major art sites — on a quiet morning, you can stand in front of the Caravaggio alone, which is not something you can do in Rome. Admission is inexpensive; combined with a walk along Via dei Tribunali.
