The Church of Santa Maria Maddalena ai Cristallini reopens after 40 years.
The Church of Santa Maria Maddalena ai Cristallini is located on Via Salita di Capodimonte.
The church was built in 1851 to be used by the Casa d'Asilo di Santa Maria Maddalena. The building, financed by private donations and charity shows at the Teatro San Carlo and the Teatro del Fondo, was constructed on the site of old structures belonging to the Ritiro delle Pentite di San Raffaele in Materdei.
Its current appearance is the result of restorations carried out after World War II, when the church was heavily damaged by a bombing in 1943.
The facade, framed by gray ashlar masonry and topped by a triangular pediment, features a simple portal preceded by a piperno staircase and surmounted by a horizontal pediment. The interior has a single nave with side chapels and a barrel vault.
