The Gesu Nuovo Square also is home to the Obelisk of the Immaculate, a strange obelisk that changes direction twice while maintaining its upright composure. Explore the religious complex of Santa Chiara, where the Church of Santa Chiara sits diagonally across from the Gesu Nuovo and is believed to be haunted by a phantom of the famed King of Naples, whose tomb also lies in the realm of this historic religious complex.

This intricately designed marble sculpture was created by Giuseppe Sanmartino in 1753 and was believed to be created via alchemy.
