Via dei Tribunali pulses with the raw energy of Naples. This ancient Roman road, once the Decumanus Maximus, is now a vibrant tapestry of street food vendors, artisan workshops, and historical landmarks.

The square is a vital junction where Spaccanapoli meets Mezzocannone, connecting the ancient heart of the city with the university district.

It's a place steeped in history, artistry, and the vibrant pulse of Naples.
