Monte San Giovanni Campano. Church of Santa Maria della Arendola (or Arenula)

The church of Santa Maria della Arendola (or Arenula) in Monte San Giovanni Campano is of medieval origin and dates from the eleventh century and has been remodeled over the centuries.

The interior has a nave with four altars, a ciborium (canopy over the altar supported by columns) from the 1700s and an apse.

There are two valuable paintings: the first depicts the Nativity of Our Lady from the eighteenth century Neapolitan school, and the second represents the Madonna with St. Francis and St. Emidio, attributed to Sansovino.
