The church of San Francesco di Paolo on Piazza Plebescito in Naples.The expansive Piazza Plebescito in front of the royal palace is one of Naples’ largest open spaces, laid out with a colonnaded hemicycle and equestrian statues of Charles III of Bourbon and Ferdinand IV in the early 18th century.
The neoclassical church of San Francesco di Paola marking the center of the curve was modeled after Rome's Pantheon in 1817 for Ferdinand IV, who ordered it built as an offering of thanks after he retook the city from Napoleonic troops.
