Perhaps the most beautiful church in all of Naples, Gesù Nuovo (translates to New Jesus), got its name to distinguish it from the old church of Jesus. Originally, Gesù Nuovo was a palace in the 15th Century, popular for its Neapolitan Renaissance interiors and majestic gardens.
Taken over by the Jesuits in the 16th Century and later affected by the bombings of World War II, the church underwent many changes, with the last restoration taking place in 1975.
The bomb that went through the basilica's ceiling did not blast and remains inside the church till date.
