History[edit]
The church was founded in 1448 at the same time as the hospital of Pietro Caracciolo, who had been the abbot of the nearby church of San Giorgio Maggiore. The original name was Santa Maria a Selice.

In 1550 the church was ceded to the Dominican Order which in 1587 acquired the nearby Palazzo Como to use as a convent. From 1599 to 1620 the church underwent major reconstruction by Giovan Giacomo Di Conforto, which give the building a late-mannerist style. Later in the 18th century, it was decorated with Baroque touches, including the staircase with finely sculpted balustrade.
Interior with cupola
In 1818 the building became the first home of the State Archives of Naples, then, with the return of the Dominicans, the complex was rebuilt in 1845 by Filippo Botta, but in 1863 the convent was suppressed and building was used as a retirement home. The reworking of the Via Duomo shortened the nave, and deprived the church of its baroque facade and its first two chapels. The front now has a simpler Renaissance style facade. During the Second World War, the church was used as a bomb shelter, but it was damaged by the 1980 earthquake. The church has been since restored, though deconsecrated and used for exhibitions and conferences.
Tomb of Giovanni Alfonso Bisvallo
The interior has a Greek plan, and 17th century decoration. The altar is made of polychrome marble, while the transept to the right has the funereal monument of Giovanni Alfonso Bisvallo, sculpted by Girolamo D'Auria in 1617, which originally had a canvas by Luca Giordano.

The church of the Graziella al Porto Napoli or Santa Maria delle Grazie al Porto Napoli is a small Roman Catholic temple in Naples, Italy. The church is just behind the church of Pietà dei Turchini, on vico Graziella al Porto. It is accessible through narrow alleys from via Medina, along the church of San Diego dell’Ospedaletto and the former Royal Conservatory, but also by a pedestrian alleys from via Guglielmo San Felice and via De Pretis. It is located in the rione San Giuseppe Carità.
In 1737, the architect Angelo Carasale, in order to signal his gratitude to the providence granted by the Virgin, decided to erect this church, initially named Santa Maria delle Grazie. Angelo Carasale had found success when he was granted direction of the Teatro San Bartolomeo by King Charles III. The church was in the custody of the Mercedarian order until 1801, when it was transferred to the Confraternity of Santi Bernardo e Margherita. That group merged in 1859 with the Confraternity of Santa Maria Visita Poveri. Since the 1980 Irpinia earthquake the church has remained closed, like many other nearby churches including Santa Barbara dei Cannonieri and San Giacomo degli Italiani.
The main altar has a canvas of the Virgin granting a banner to San Pietro Nolasco by Giuseppe Bonito and two lateral canvases Madonna and San Carlo Borromeo also by Bonito, and a Crucifixion by M. Rossi.[1] San Pietro Nolasco was the founder of the Mercedarian order.
