Marvel at its architectural splendor and imagine the countless historical events that have unfolded within its boundaries.
Castel dell'Ovo
Journey to the island of Megaride and discover Castel dell'Ovo, a fortress steeped in legend. According to folklore, this is where the mermaid Parthenope washed ashore. Over the centuries, it has served as a strategic landing point, a luxurious residence, a monastic refuge, and a formidable military garrison. Explore its imposing towers and imagine the stories of Romulus Augustulus, Jacobins, and Carbonari who were once imprisoned within its walls.
Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace)
Step back in time at the Palazzo Reale, a magnificent palace that has served as the seat of power for Spanish, Austrian, Bourbon, and Savoy rulers from 1600 to 1946. Admire the Renaissance design, expanded and embellished over centuries. The facade, adorned with statues of rulers such as Roger the Norman and Charles V, reflects Naples' rich and diverse royal history.
Gesu' Nuovo Church
Visit the Gesu' Nuovo Church, a breathtaking example of Baroque architecture located in Piazza del Gesú. Originally built as a palace in 1470 for Roberto Sanseverino, Prince of Salerno, it became a church in the 1580s. Marvel at the unique diamond-shaped ashlars of the façade and the opulent marble interiors, adorned with frescoes by masters like Francesco Solimena. Explore its grandiose plan and intricate details.
Decumanus Maggiore (Via dei Tribunali)
Walk along the Decumanus Maggiore, also known as Via dei Tribunali, the main east-west street of ancient Neapolis. This historic thoroughfare, dating back to Greek and Roman times, is intersected by numerous north-south 'cardini,' forming the grid of the ancient city. Wander through the modern streets and alleys that overlie the ancient grid, and experience the city's vibrant history.
Via Toledo
Cycle down Via Toledo, described by Stendhal as 'the most populous and happy street in the world.' This bustling main road is the heart of Neapolitan shopping, lined with animated stores and significant civil and religious buildings. Discover the Spanish Quarter, built in the 16th century, marking the boundary of the original Greek-Roman city.
The Decumani
Explore the Decumani, the three main east-west roads of Naples, intersected by the Cardini running north to south. These orthogonal streets, originally named 'plateiai' and 'stenopoi' by the Greeks who founded ancient Neapolis, define the city's urban layout and offer a glimpse into its rich historical roots.
Lungomare Caracciolo
Stroll along Lungomare Caracciolo, a beautiful waterfront promenade rich in history and culture. This scenic route, named after Admiral Francesco Caracciolo, offers breathtaking views of the sea and passes important landmarks such as the Villa Comunale and the Riviera di Chiaia. Explore the historic Borgo Marinaio, the iconic Castel dell'Ovo, and the vibrant Riviera di Chiaia area, extending towards the heights of Posillipo.
Piazza del Municipio
Visit Piazza del Municipio, one of Europe's largest squares and a crucial point in Naples, close to the marina, Maschio Angioino, and Via Toledo. The recent construction of the metro station has unveiled significant archaeological finds, including Roman-era artifacts and a complete Roman-era spa complex. Discover the remains of the ancient port of Greek-Roman Neapolis, displayed in the 'Neapolis station-museum,' making the square a new archaeological site in the city center.
