Description


The deconsecrated church of San Gennaro all’Olmo is a former religious edifice located in the city center of Naples, Italy, on Via San Gregorio Armeno. It is adjacent and for many years integral to the chapel-church of San Biagio Maggiore.
There is mention that a church at the site dates from the time of emperor Constantine in the 4th century, but there is only documentation for a foundation by the seventh century by the Bishop of Naples, Sant’Agnello. The early name of the church was San Gennaro ad Diaconiam, and this was the first church in the city dedicated to this saint. In the 8th century, Armenian monks fleeing the Byzantine Iconoclasm, were accommodated in this church, where they brought relics of St Gregory and St Blaise. The adjacent San Biagio Maggiore was built to house the latter’s skull. The church once had a tall shady elm tree in front, hence its name.
