THE SURROUNDINGS |
|
 |
Naples: Located in the Gulf of
Naples, resembles a nativity scene that is dominated by the
omnipotent Mt. Vesuvio. The city's panorama stretches from the hills of
Posillipo to the Sorrentino - Amalfi Coast and is furthur enriched by the
3 pearls of the Gulf: Capri, Ischia and Procida. Naples is the largest and
most important city in Southern Italy and is known as "the city of
the sun" due to its perfect year round climate

While in Naples you must
not miss:
Duomo
(cathedral):: inaugurated in 1315 by Roberto d'Angiò, the duomo is
famous for its chapel of the treasure of San Gennaro in which the blood of
the saint is kept. The blood liquefies twice a year (in September and
May), performing a miracle seen as a good omen for the Neapolitan people.
Santa Chiara: built under the reign of the d'Angiòs in the early
years of the 14th Century, it was restructured in the 18th Century as we
can see from the cloister of the convent which is covered in Vaccaro
majolica tiles.
San Domenico Maggiore: with an adjoining convent, it was
constructed in gothic style at the end of the 13th Century, transformed in
baroque style in the 17th Century and then restructured once again in its
original style. It was the place where Saint Thomas Aquinas lived and
taught.
San
Francesco di Paola: stands proud in the marvellous Piazza del
Plebiscito in the heart of Naples. It was built on the desire of Ferdinand
I of Bourbon in imitation of the Pantheon in Rome, to celebrate the re-conquest
of the kingdom.
Maschio Angioino: situated in front of the port, the Angevins had
it built in the 13th Century and it was then completely restored by the
Aragonese. You can currently admire , in the Palatine chapel, sculptures
and frescoes of the 14th and 15th centuries and, in the southern wing,
paintings from the 15th to the 20th Century, as well as works of art in
silver and bronze.
Castel dell’Ovo: built entirely in tufa, it rises imposingly on Via
Partenope. In olden times it was annexed to the villa of the Roman
aristocrat Lucullo, then became a monastery for Brazilian monks and was
finally extended by the Normans and the Angevins.
Castel Sant’Elmo: built partially in tufa on a six-point star
plan. It has dominated the city from the top of the hill since 1329, the
year in which Roberto d'Angiò had its core constructed.
