The former Military Hospital of Naples reopens with a new face, transformed into a laboratory of creativity and innovation. Closed to the public since 1992, the site has been regenerated thanks to a project involving Urban Value by Ninetynine, the Municipality of Naples and several local authorities.

In the heart of the city, between the Spanish Quarter and Montesanto, the SS. Trinità delle Monache complex now hosts “La Santissima – Community Hub”, a cultural and creative hub.
The Inauguration
During the inaugural event, local authorities, including the Mayor of Naples, the Deputy Mayor and representatives of the State Property Agency, expressed enthusiasm for the redevelopment, underlining the importance of creating new accessible cultural spaces. The project is based on principles of temporary urban regeneration, offering the public a place for meeting and artistic experimentation.
Spaces and Activities
La Santissima – Community Hub is spread over four floors, each dedicated to various cultural activities. On the ground floor, visitors are welcomed by porticoes and spaces designed for hospitality. The first floor hosts the Music Hall for events and concerts, while the second floor has a Sala Affreschi for exhibitions and a Cinemino for screenings. On the third floor, the Sala Vittoria is dedicated to the performing arts and includes temporary offices for creatives and startups.

It's great to see how the former Military Hospital of Naples has been reopened and transformed into a cultural hub. I hope this project can bring new life to the community and involve as many people as possible.
I agree with you, but I wonder if the spaces will really be accessible to everyone. It is important that every citizen can benefit from these new opportunities and not just a few privileged ones.
