Turning your back to the Royal Palace, right in front of you is the Neoclassical Basilica of San Francesco di Paola, with eight columns on its façade and a central dome flanked by two smaller domes. In the space surrounded by a semicircular colonnade, you can see the horseback statues of King Charles III on the right and his son Ferdinand I on the left: the first one is by the great 18th-century sculptor Antonio Canova and the second was designed by the same and completed by his pupil.
