Santa Caterina a Chiaia (also known as Santa Caterina martire) is a Roman Catholic church located on via Santa Caterina 76 in Naples, Italy. It is located near Piazza dei Martiri in the Chiaia section of the city, near where Via Santa Caterina flows toward the tree-shaded Via Chiaia. HistoryThe church was built originally as a small family chapel by the Forti family and then ceded to the Franciscan order, which expanded it by 1600. The present church, however, is the result of a series of reconstructions, including a Baroque style as late as 1732 in the wake of a serious earthquake in that year. The tall facade is characterized by a representation of the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The main entrance is marked by a plaque commemorating a restoration of the facade in 1904. Art work in the interior is mostly dedicated to the life of Saint Catherine, including a prominent dome fresco (1916) by Gustavo Girosi.
