Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Obelisco dell'Immacolata is a rather construction in the Piazza del Gesu Nuovo, outside the church of the same name. The piazza itself is nice enough. The obelisk was apparently erected sometime in the 18th century. It has a bit of history around it too.

This towering monument has a dual purpose. Besides being an interesting photo spot, it also assures you that you are not lost and you have indeed found the Church of Gesu Nuovo.

This monument is to the immaculate conception and stands about 100 feet into the air. Pity as is not well maintained and grass / weeds getting old of it. Very nice stonework.

The obelisk, dedicated to the immaculate conception of the virgin Mary, was erected in the Piazza del gesù Nuovo, on the initiative of the Jesuits. As I understand it, to strengthen the faith so contrary to common sense event. Practical Jesuits used for the obelisk, a column on which once stood king Philip V, who removed in 1707 during the occupation of Naples by the Austrian troops during the war of the Spanish succession. Immaculate Mary is to a height of 12 meters and together with the pedestal as much as 30. This is the high Baroque monument in Naples. Every year on 8 December at the statue wearing a wreath of flowers in honor of the immaculate conception.

Although I consider it a monument, it is officially an obelisk. It is the last of three great obelisks in the City, having been erected in the eighteenth century after that of San Gennaro and San Domenico.
It dates to between 1747/1750 and replaced an equestrian sculpture dedicated to Philip V. Impressive at an overall height of approx. 33m including the sculpture of he Virgin Mary. It is considered one of the finest examples of Baroque sculpture in Naples.

Very rarely you will find an obelisk that change direction Two times and continues to be standing up. First part of the obelisk it is la Pisa tower leaning to one way but the last section of the religious obelisk is leaning in the complete opposite direction therefore somehow compensating the gradient. Very interesting

This is a big tall pointy statue thing. It’s right outside the church. It’s fine. It’s apparently dedicated to surviving the plague. It’s nice enough. Only takes a couple seconds to look at.

This Spire to the Immaculate Virgin is situated in the Piazza of Gesù Nuovo. Apparently in about 1750, Charles 111 decided that it would be good for the people to be able to admire the figure without the need to go into the nearby church. Certainly, the statue itself is particularly well sculpted.
