Castles and Monuments

Naples' architectural landscape is defined by its strategic fortifications and historical monuments spanning the Roman, medieval, and Renaissance eras. This collection features the iconic seaside Castel dell'Ovo, the star-shaped fortress of Castel Sant'Elmo, and the Angevin stronghold of Castel Nuovo. Beyond the castles, the list includes ancient city gates like Porta Nolana, the vast Catacombs of San Gennaro, and the Pausilypon Archaeological Park, which preserves Roman villas and an ancient tunnel system cut into the tuff rock.
