San Giovanni a Mare, Naples

Local nameChiesa di San Giovanni a Mare
LocationNaples, Italy

San Giovanni a Mare is a church in Naples, Italy; located near the docks, not far from the church of Sant'Eligio Maggiore.

The Romanesque church was erected by Benedictine monks before the 12th century. By the 13th century, the church was attached to a hostel of the knightly order of Gerosolimitani. For some time, the church too belonged to the knights. The hostel was closed by Napoleonic forces, but was returned to the Church in 1828. The church building has been recently restored. Interior columns are spolia. Arabic and Byzantine influences can be seen in some of the apse columns. Other arches in the dome recall architecture of Amalfi.
