Lonely Planet review for Santissima Annunziata

This 14th-century religious complex is as well known for its former orphanage as it is for its jasmine-scented, light-filled basilica. Designed by Carlo Vanvitelli at the end of the 18th century, the basilica's interior is a bold affair with some 44 Corinthian columns lining the nave and a soaring 67m-high dome. The third chapel on the left features a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, one of the few remnants from the original 14th-century church.
