• Piazza del Plebiscito - This is one of the city’s most significant squares, steeped in history and art. It is conveniently located near both the historic center and the roads leading to the sea of Naples.
• Castel dell’Ovo - Situated on the island of Megaride, legend has it that the mermaid Parthenope’s body washed ashore here. In the 6th century BC, the Cumans landed here to establish the first settlement of what would become the city. Lucullus, returning from Asia with great wealth, built a lavish residence extending to Mount Echia. In the 5th century BC, cenobite monks who constructed monasteries lived here. Saint Patricia found refuge here after fleeing from her uncle, the Eastern Emperor. Duke Sergio’s armies expelled the monks to establish a military garrison. Roger the Norman gathered his forces here, and Robert d’Anjou later built a castle with strong square towers that still command respect today.

The castle also served as a prison, holding Romulus Augustulus, the last Western Emperor, and many Jacobins, Carbonari, and liberals, including Francesco de Sanctis.

• Palazzo Reale - The Royal Palace of Naples dates back to the early 17th century during the Spanish occupation, when a modern, large, and well-decorated palace was commissioned.

Designed by Domenico Fontana (1543 – 1607) in a Renaissance style, it was expanded and adorned in the 18th and 19th centuries. For three centuries, from 1600 to 1946, it was the seat of monarchical power in Naples and southern Italy, first housing the Spanish, then the Austrians, followed by the Bourbons, and finally the House of Savoy. The House of Savoy, leading the newly formed Italian state, added eight statues to the Palace’s facade, representing the founders or most illustrious sovereigns of the dynasties that ruled Naples. From left to right: Roger the Norman, Frederick II of Swabia, Charles of Anjou, Alphonse of Aragon, Charles V, Charles III of Bourbon, Murat, and Victor Emmanuel II.

• Gesu Nuovo Church - Located in the heart of the city at Piazza del Gesú, the stunning Gesu’ Nuovo Church is a remarkable example of Baroque architecture, featuring a unique façade with diamond-shaped ashlars and magnificent marble interiors. Originally built as a palace in 1470 for Roberto Sanseverino, Prince of Salerno, it became a focal point of Neapolitan life. The façade is distinctive with its diamond-shaped ashlars, and the interiors are spectacularly crafted from marble. In the 1580s, the Jesuits converted it into a church. The grand design included a Greek cross layout with a slightly elongated longitudinal arm, a large central dome, and four smaller lateral ones. The interior is adorned with typical Baroque features, such as elegant colored marble creating illusions of vases with flowers, festoons, and masks embellishing the architrave. Renowned Neapolitan master painters, like Francesco Solimena, who frescoed the inner façade in 1725, worked here.
• Via dei Tribunali - This was the main decumanus, or Decumanus Maggiore, the principal east-west street of the ancient Greek and later Roman city of Neapolis. It runs parallel to the lower decumanus (Decumano Inferiore, now called Spaccanapoli) to the south and the upper decumanus (Decumano Superiore) (now via Anticaglia and Via della Sapienza) to the north. The three decumani were (and still are) intersected by numerous north-south cross-streets called cardini, forming the grid of the ancient city. Modern streets and alleys overlay and follow this ancient grid. The street stretches from the church of San Pietro a Maiella and the adjacent Naples Music Conservatory at the west end of the old city for about three-quarters of a mile, passing the central cross-road at via San Gregorio Armeno, then crossing via Duomo near the Cathedral of Naples and ending at what was, until recently, the main Naples courthouse (Italian: Tribunale).
• Via Toledo - The French writer Stendhal had a deep affection for Naples, and in the first half of the 18th century, he described Via Toledo as “the most populous and happy street in the world.” It remains vibrant today, with bustling shops making it the heart of Neapolitan shopping, alongside numerous civil and religious buildings. Begin exploring this main road of the city, whose eastern boundary is the lively “Spanish Quarter,” built in the first half of the 16th century by Viceroy Pedro Álvarez de Toledo. The quarter stands where the city’s original Aragonese-era western wall once marked the border of the Greek-Roman city.
• Decumani di Napoli - The three “Decumani” are the main roads that traverse the city from east to west, intersected by the “Cardini” from north to south. These terms are derived from Latin, but the orthogonal city map was created by the Greeks, who founded the ancient “Neapolis.” They named these streets “plateiai” and “stenopoi,” respectively.
• Lungomare Caracciolo - This beautiful waterfront is not only a sight to behold but also rich in history and culture. Lungomare Caracciolo is named after Via Caracciolo, the street bordered by the sea of Naples. It is a long and wide path featuring important points of interest such as the Villa Comunale and the Riviera di Chiaia area. Lungomare Caracciolo stretches along most of Naples’ coast, crossing many areas: Via Santa Lucia, home to the famous church of Santa Lucia, the Borgo Marinaio area with its charming little port full of local character, and the Castel dell’Ovo. The Riviera di Chiaia area is known for shopping and nightlife, ending in the ascent of Posillipo, leading to a higher part of the city. The Lungomare is dedicated to Admiral Francesco Caracciolo, although some call it Mergellina or, in recent years, ‘Lungomare Liberato,’ a historic hero of the Neapolitan Republic who was executed in the nearby sea on his boat.
• Piazza del Municipio - Piazza del Municipio is one of the largest squares in Europe and a key location in the city due to its proximity to the marina, Maschio Angioino, San Giacomo Palace, the Town Hall, and Via Toledo. The important Neptune Fountain is also located here.

During the construction of the “Municipio” station, lines 1 and 6 of the Metro revealed significant archaeological finds (about 3000) dating from Roman times to some 19th-century buildings.

In addition to the discovered artifacts (amphorae, ships, caravels, ancient walls completely intact), a true Roman-era citadel was uncovered, including a spa complex. Piazza Municipio is set to become a new archaeological site in the city center, where visitors can admire the remains of the ancient port of Greek-Roman Neapolis, with exhibits displayed in the “Neapolis station-museum” of Piazza Municipio.
