Complesso dei SS. Marcellino e Festo

Largo S. Marcellino 10 – Napoli

The Church of the Monastery of Saints Marcellino and Festo is the most precious part of the large convent complex, assigned in 1907 to the University of Naples and now fully restored.
The restoration of the structures, heavily damaged by the air raid of 1941 and the earthquake of 1980, involved the entire convent insula resulting from the annexation of the Benedictine monastery of Saints Festo and Desiderio to the Basilian convent of Saints Marcellino and Pietro.

Today the structure consists of a hall with 156 seats, a large cloister, and a portico available for the organization of buffet services.
