MASCHIO ANGIOINO Castel Nuovo: known to most of the people as the Maschio Angioino, it is for sure one of the symbols of Naples, together with Piazza del Plebiscito. It was built between 1279 and 1282, during Angevin rule, by order of Carlo D’Anjou. Its original structure has been deeply changed during the centuries.

PIAZZA MUNICIPIO It is one of the biggest squares in Europe. It has a semi-rectangular shape, and it is the crossroads of the Parthenopean city. It links up the most important areas of Naples, including the port area, Piazza del Plebiscito and the commercial area of Via Toledo. It takes its name from San Giacomo Palace, seat of Naples City Hall, and centre of the city political power.

MONASTERO DI SANTA CHIARA The monastic complex of Santa Chiara, and the pertinent Basilica were built in the XIV century, commissioned by Roberto D'Anjou, due to his wife’s will, Queen Sancha of Majorca. The church, originally built in Gothic style, was renovated between the XVII and the XVIII century in Baroque style, and then took the original appearance again, further to the reconstruction completed in 1953.

PIAZZA DEL GESU' In this square, there are some of the most famous Parthenopean monuments: the church of Gesù Nuovo, the Convent of Santa Chiara and the obelisk of the Immacolata. The latter, built during the first half of XVIII century, was designed by Giuseppe Genoino on commission of the order of Jesuits.

PIAZZA SAN DOMENICO Built during the Aragonese rule, Piazza San Domenico, takes its name from the church of San Domenico Maggiore, which housed works of art like the Annunciation by Tiziano and the Flagellation by Caravaggio. Petrucci Palace built in the XV century, Corigliano Palace and Sangro di Casacalenda Palace, make this square one of the most important artistic venues in the city.

SPACCA NAPOLI EIt is one of the most typical streets of the city. Its name fully mirrors the impression this street creates looking at it from the top: a long rift that runs through Naples old town centre, from the Central railway Station up to the Vomero slopes. Spaccanapoli crosses the squares and the most famous areas of the old city (Piazza del Gesù, Piazza San Domenico, Via San Gregorio Armeno, etc..). This street holds all the liveliness and the wonderful culture of the Neapolitan people.

DUOMO DI NAPOLI The cathedral was built in the late XIII century by order of Carlo D’Anjou. Naples Cathedral is famous all over the world, because of the relics of San Gennaro, and in particular the ampulla containing the blood of the patron saint of the city. A mystery that has been lasting for centuries and it repeats every year: the liquefaction of the blood of San Gennaro. This mystery has never found any scientific confirmation.

MUSEO ARCHEOLOGICO NAZIONALE The National Archaeological Museum is considered as being one of the most important European museums; the mosaic decoration of "La battaglia di Alessandro a Isso", the hall of the Toro Farnese and the Ercole, the collections of Santangelo antique coins, and the Etruscan and Egyptian ones. All of these works of art make this museum really famous worldwide. The National Archaeological Museum is also famous because of the sections dedicated to the Egyptian culture and to the ruins that have been found in the excavations of Pompei and Ercolano , pertinent to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
