The obelisk was erected in the thirteenth century by order of the Jesuits according to the design of Giuseppe Genuino. Its construction in the center of the square aroused the negative reactions of the Duke of Monteleone. He feared that the structure could collapse on the facade of his building in the event of an earthquake. The monument is covered with marble sculptures by Matteo Bottigliero and Mario Pagano. At the top of the spire there is the characteristic statue of the Immaculate Conception.The basilica of Santa Chiara, or the monastery of Santa Chiara, is a monumental building of worship in Naples, one of the most important and largest monastic complexes in the city.
