With a scenic perspective, the group of Chiesa delle Croci welcomes the visitors and leads them along an avenue covered with flowerbeds for as many as 200 metres. The group includes a baroque triumphal arch with a cross and two angels on top, five chapels with pillars holding small domes, with one cross each; a late-baroque little church. The group seems to date back to 1615 and to have been built by the Capuchins after father Antonio da Olivati, after a preaching, planted seven crosses out of town. The crosses are now replaced by the seven monuments that compose the group.

The church is in the shape of a Latin cross, with one nave only and two side chapels. A big cross rises above the high altar with a relic of the Holy Wood of the true Cross of Jesus. On the vault, a canvas portrays the Rise to the Calvary of the Neapolitan school. Under the church is a small crypt called Holy Land, where secret meetings were held during the Risorgimento.
