New Castle - Angevin Keep

The construction of the Angevin Keep started in 1279, during the reign of Charles I of Anjou, on designs by the French architect Pierre de Chaule. Due to its strategic position, the new castle was not just a royal residence but also a fortress. Since the very start it has been known as “New Castle”, to distinguish it from the older castles of Ovo and Capuano. During the reign of Robert of Anjou, the Castle became a hub of culture and hosted artists, doctors and scholars, including Giotto, Petrarch and Boccaccio.

Piazza del Plebiscito

Located in the historic centre, between the promenade and via Toledo, the square is one of the largest in the city and in Italy. The current name of the square was chosen after the plebiscite of 21 October 1860 decreed the annexation of the Kingdom of the two Sicilians to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Royal Palace

The works for the construction of the Royal Palace began in the 17th century, under the reign of the Spanish viceroys, on designs by the Neapolitan architect Domenico Fontana. The majority of the palace was completed in two years, although a certain number of features (e.g. the staircase) were added 50 years later. The Bourbon kings extended the building to the east in the mid-18th century, adding niches to the facade. The interior of the palace took on its current Neoclassical form under the French rule in the early 19th century; the hanging gardens and the statues of the kings of Naples were added later that century.

Castle of the Egg

The castle you see today is the result of 1,000 years of military occupation, going back to the Norman period. The Aragonese gave the fortress its current form in the 16th century: before then, it housed a monastic community.
Its name originates from an ancient legend, according to which the Latin poet Virgil hid an egg in the building’s dungeons that kept the entire fortress standing. Had the egg broken, not only would the castle have collapsed, but a series of disasters would have destroyed the city of Naples.

Underground Naples

For many years, Naples’ deep underground was the source of the tufa used to build the city, thus creating underground recesses, caves and galleries that tell a story that runs parallel to that of overground Naples. In the underground city people lived a different life, taking advantage of its recesses in a thousand ways, also using it as invaluable shelter during the bombings of the Second World War.
