The Church of Gesù Nuovo was originally a residence built in 1470 for Roberto Sanseverino, Prince of Salerno. Political intrigues of the day caused the property to be confiscated. It was eventually sold in the 1580s to the Jesuit order and was consecrated in 1601. The church passed to a Franciscan order when the Jesuits were expelled from Naples in 1767. The Jesuits got the church back in 1821. The unusual facade is called ashlar and is the original façade. Frescos on the ceiling of the central nave are by Belisario Corenzio and Paolo de Matteis. Also, the church displays The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple (1725) one of the most noteworthy works by Francesco Solimena, the great painter of the Neapolitan Baroque.
