Photo of the Week: The Guglia di San Domenico

Grazie mille Andrew Giordano for sharing your wonderful photo of San Domenico di Guzman perched on top of the spire (guglia) in Piazza San Domenico Maggiore in Naples. Begun in 1656 by Cosimo Fanzango, to commemorate the city's deliverance from the plague, the obelisk was eventually completed by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro in 1737.
