San Giacomo degli Spagnoli is a Renaissance minor basilica on Piazza Municipio in central Naples, Italy. Commissioned in 1540 by the Spanish viceroy Don Pedro Álvarez de Toledo and designed by Ferdinando Manlio, it was dedicated to St James, patron saint of Spain. In 1812 it was enveloped by the Palazzo San Giacomo, which removed its facade but kept the three-nave interior; the palace now houses Naples' city hall. Its interior retains monumental tombs, including that of Don Pedro de Toledo by Giovanni da Nola.
