The Little Church

at Saint'Elmo Castle in Naples, Italy - Oct. 2014

Star-shaped Castel Sant'Elmo was originally a church dedicated to St Erasmus. Some 400 years later, in 1349, Robert of Anjou turned it into a castle before Spanish viceroy Don Pedro de Toledo had it further fortified in 1538. Used as a military prison until the 1970s, it's now famed for its jaw-dropping panorama, and for its Museo del Novecento , dedicated to 20th-century Neapolitan art.
