Naples (Italy) - the most detailed information about the city with photos. The main attractions of Naples with descriptions, guides and maps.

City of Naples (Italy)

Naples joined Italy in 1861. Much of modern Naples was built under Mussolini's regime and during the recovery period from the bombings of World War II.

How to get there

Naples has an international airport, Capodichino. The only way to get from the airport to the city is by bus, which has only two stops: Stazione Centrale (central station) and Piazza Municipio. Railroad connections have been developed almost immediately by all major cities in Italy. Naples is connected to Rome by the A1 motorway. Motorways in Italy are toll roads.

The city is a major port. Ferries and large passenger ships connect Naples with Sicily, Sardinia, Tunisia and Corsica.

To get around the city you can use the metro, trams and buses.

Shopping and purchases

Naples is famous for its markets and a huge number of small shops.

The largest and most interesting shopping districts:

• La Torretta Market, located near the US Embassy. You can buy a variety of fresh produce, cheeses and meats here.
• Via San Gregorio Armeno is a narrow alley in the center of Naples with traditional Neapolitan goods and souvenirs.
• Poggioreale Market is the largest market in the city (more than 500 retail outlets).
• Antiques Market - located on the Naples waterfront. Here you can buy antiques.

Food and drink

Naples is the gastronomic capital of Southern Italy. It is believed that the first pizza was made here. Neapolitan pizza has a thicker crust. If you want to try "real Neapolitan pizza", go to Pizzeria Brandi, where margherita pizza was born. Excellent pizza is also made in the Via dei Tribunali area. Finding a good pizzeria is quite easy. Go a little away from the popular tourist routes. See if there are many locals in this establishment. If yes, then you can safely order there.

Neapolitan cuisine also includes many seafood dishes, pasta with various sauces. Popular drinks include coffee, wine and the famous limoncella.

Attractions

Throughout history, Naples has witnessed fierce battles and many civilizations have sought to conquer it. Greeks, Romans, Spaniards, French, each of these peoples left their mark. Here, on the narrow streets among old buildings, ancient landmarks, ancient churches, real history is frozen.

Pompeii is a legendary ancient city destroyed during the devastating eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD at the height of its power. Despite the lava flows and tons of ash that buried the city and its inhabitants, it was preserved in fantastic condition.

Pompeii is a vast ruin. Roads, walls of houses, fragments of temples, public buildings and even frescoes in some houses have been preserved here. The most interesting places are the ruins of the amphitheater, Roman theaters, baths, the surroundings of the Forum, the temples of Apollo and Jupiter. Pompeii was a fairly extensive and developed city for those times. Even now, excavations here are not completely completed. And among various kinds of archaeological finds there are the petrified remains of unfortunate people, the last inhabitants of Pompeii.

Herculaneum is another city destroyed by Vesuvius. Despite the fact that he was further from the awakened volcano than Pompeii, this did not save him. Herculaneum is actually much better preserved. Some buildings still have some wooden structures, frames and roofing. Interesting attractions of these ruins are the Villa Papiri and the House of Argus, both of which have beautiful frescoes and wall paintings that survive.

San Gennaro is a network of catacombs located in the northern part of Naples near the Church of the Incoronata. The catacombs are a network of tunnels and passages with ancient tombs. They have two levels:

• the lower floor contains more than 3,000 burials. It is dimly lit to give it a slightly creepy atmosphere.
• the upper level is more spacious and bright. Contains many detailed frescoes and paintings.

Castel Nuovo is one of the symbols of Naples, a huge and mighty medieval castle located on the shores of the Gulf of Naples in close proximity to the famous Piazza del Plebiscito. The castle is a fortress with 5 powerful towers. An early Renaissance triumphal arch is the entrance. Castel Nuovo was built in the 13th century and was the residence of the kings and governors of Naples. It now houses a city museum with various collections and paintings with an emphasis on 19th century Italian painting.

Castel dell'Ovo is a stunning medieval castle on the island. It is the oldest surviving fortification of Naples. The date of foundation of the fortress dates back to the 6th century. Currently, Castel dell'Ovo is open to the public.

Piazza del Plebescito is the most famous square in Naples. This vast open space is filled with important buildings and statues: the royal courtyard and the Colonnaded Basilica Royale (or rather San Francesco di Paola, built in the 19th century on the model of the Pantheon), the Palazzo Salerno, the Prefectural Palace and the statue dedicated to Charles III, King Spain.

The Duomo is the cathedral and the most important temple of Naples. Built in the 13th century by Charles I of Anjou on the foundations of ancient churches. This religious building combines many styles, including Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. The cathedral has a large central tower and many decorative sculptures and other decorations.

San Domenico Maggiore is an unusual church founded by Dominican friars in the 14th century. Located in the center of the old town of Naples near the university and the Dante metro station. Despite the rather featureless facade, the inside of the basilica is simply amazing: Renaissance works of art, sculptures and decorations, a paneled ceiling gilded with gold and a stunning altar.

San Severo is a small chapel from the 16th century. Although this chapel is quite simple and unassuming from the outside, the interior is very impressive and is a real highlight. The chapel contains a huge amount of art and several famous sculptures. The ceiling is decorated with a magnificent fresco. The central place is occupied by a beautiful statue of the veil of Christ, created by Giuseppe Sanmartino.

Palazzo Reale is a stunning royal palace that is located in Piazza del Plebiscito. The facade of this building has a symmetrical series of dark frames and many windows to create a formal and imposing appearance. In the niches of the palace there are 12 statues of the kings and rulers of Naples. Inside the palace there are many luxurious rooms with rich interiors.

Santa Lucia is an area west of Piazza del Plebiscito with many narrow cobbled streets that lead down to the sea and offer a variety of craft shops, restaurants, cafes and shops. A piece of real Naples and its atmosphere.

Disgust and admiration - such contradictory feelings are alternately experienced by a person arriving in Naples and beginning to get acquainted with this extraordinary city.

From afar, Naples is incredibly beautiful: from an airplane, or Vesuvius, or from the top of one of its hills. The huge white body of the city is spread out over the hills and depressions along the sea, and even right next to Vesuvius. The scope and whimsicality of the folds of this bedspread is mesmerizing.

Once in the center of Naples, a new person will involuntarily be horrified: nasty muck is spilled on the streets, garbage is lying around, motorcycles are rushing past at full speed, and there are so many suspicious personalities around! The streets are dark and cramped, like cracks, the houses are shabby, and laundry hangs everywhere it can be hung.

But then the first shock passes. The city, one after another, reveals its riches to the visitor - and they are truly outstanding. In Naples, like in no other city, the transition from horror to delight is rapid. And back.

In this article I will tell you which attractions of Naples you should definitely visit and why it’s worth coming here.

Decumans

The historical center of Naples, the so-called Decumans, looks creepy on the outside, but their interior content is magnificent. First of all, there are numerous churches from the 12th and later centuries. Most of them are striking examples of Neapolitan Baroque, and each has its own personality.

Church of San Domenico Maggiore

The Duomo (Cathedral of Saint Januarius), the churches of San Lorenzo Maggiore, San Paolo Maggiore, San Gregorio Armeno, San Domenico Maggiore, Santa Chiara, Gesu Nuovo - they all follow each other. Only to San Giovanni a Carbonara You'll have to make a small detour, but it's worth it.

In the church of San Giovanni a Carbonara

In addition to churches, in the Old Town you can admire the facades of palaces, and some of them, for example, the Palazzo Venezia, you can go inside.

Palazzo Venice

And be sure to visit the mausoleum-chapel San Severo– look at the famous sculpture “il Cristo velato” - Christ covered with the finest fabric (both Christ and the fabric are made of marble - and how!). A ticket to the San Severo Chapel costs 7 euros.

Archaeological Museum and Capodimonte

Among the many museums in Naples, there are two super-museums: the Archaeological and the Art Gallery in the Royal Palace of Capodimonte.
Archaeological Museum contains a wonderful collection of ancient Farnese sculptures, as well as mosaics and mosaics transferred here from the excavated villas of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae.

The museum is located next to the Museo metro station. Entrance – 12 euros. Open from 09.30 to 19.30. Closed on Tuesday.

Before Capodimonte It's more difficult to get to, but the museum is absolutely outstanding. The Capodimonte Palace was built in 1738 as the summer residence of the Bourbons. There is a park around the palace.

Now the palace houses a magnificent art gallery (Titian, Raphael, Botticelli, Bellini, Michelangelo, etc.). The basis of the museum is a collection of paintings collected by the Farnese family.

State hall in Capodimonte

The palace is located on the top of a hill, and you need to go there by bus (No. 168, 178, R4, C63). The bus stop is near the Archaeological Museum.
Entrance to the Capodimonte Museum – 8 euros. Open from 08.30 to 19.30. Closed on Wednesday.

Catacombs of Naples

From Capodimonte you can go down to the Basilica of the Incoronata, next to which is the entrance to the famous Catacombs of San Gennaro. Initially, the heavenly patron of Naples, Saint Januarius, was buried in these catacombs, and then reburied in the Duomo.

Catacombs of San Gennaro

Frescoes preserved inside the catacombs

These are not the only man-made caves in Naples. Under Naples there is an extensive network of dungeons. So, the entrance ticket to the catacombs of San Gennaro (8 euros) includes a visit to the catacombs San Gaudisio. The entrance to the catacombs of San Gaudisio is located inside the Basilica of Santa Maria della Sanita.

There is a descent into the dungeon under the church San Lorenzo Maggiore(there are remains of the ancient Roman forum), under the church San Paolo Maggiore(there you will see an ancient cistern and the remains of an amphitheater).

Recently, the so-called Bourbon gallery- an underground aqueduct built in the 17th century and subsequently used for military purposes. Part of the route in this tunnel can be done by boat (three types of excursions are offered at different prices: walking, water and speleo). The cost of the excursion is from 10 euros. The entrance to the Bourbon Gallery is at Via Domenico Morelli, 40.

A detailed story about underground Naples — .

Capodimonte is the country residence of the Bourbons, where the kings took refuge from the scorching summer heat.

And in the center of Naples their main residence was Palazzo Reale, built in the early 17th century under King Pedro of Toledo. Entrance to the palace is 6 euros. The interiors are royally impressive.

Teatro San Carlo

Adjacent to the Royal Palace is the Teatro San Carlo, built a century later than the palace and connected to it by a passage. Tours of the theater are organized in Italian and English. The cost of the excursion is 6 euros. During our excursion, an orchestra rehearsal was taking place in the hall, and we listened to music for about 20 minutes. Then the musicians were dismissed until the evening concert, and we went into the hall.

Tickets for the tour are sold at the theater box office. Unfortunately, there were no tickets for the concert itself - we had to book in advance.

Castles of Naples

Three mighty castles adorn the city. One of them - Castel Nuovo- stands behind the Royal Palace. It serves as a good reference point for transit passengers traveling through Naples to, and further: under the walls of the castle is the largest port of Naples - Molo Beverello.

Inside the castle there is a wide courtyard. On the second floor there is the Palatine Gallery with paintings and sculptures (a small collection). The most striking room of Castel Nuovo is the Hall of the Barons, a huge medieval hall that is easily complemented by imaginary knights in armor.

The next castle is Castel dell'Ovo, or Egg Castle, is completely free. It also stands on the seashore, moreover, it is placed out to sea on a small island. Fish restaurants have settled under the castle walls, luring tourists with delicious smells. It's hard to resist.

After refreshing yourself in the restaurant, go up to the upper open terrace of the castle - from there you can see a nice view of the city and the entire Neapolitan coast.

But for the most wonderful views you will have to climb to the third castle - Sant'Elmo. There are three funiculars and a metro (Vanvitelli station) leading to the top of Vomero Hill.

On Vomero hill There are three attractions at once. The first one is Villa Floridiana And Duca di Martina Museum. Villa Floridiana is an ordinary city park. The museum – the palace – houses a large collection of porcelain, as well as antique furniture, items made of ivory, coral, crystal, and bronze.

At the top of the hill is the castle of Sant'Elmo, and next to Sant'Elmo there is an absolutely wonderful building that should not be missed under any circumstances, namely:

Carthusian monastery of San Martino

Lay it on Certoso di San Martino an hour and a half - the initial impression that the monastery is small is deceptive. Inside there are many halls, galleries, passages, each more amazing than the other. And what views there are from the open terrace!

And having finally left these painted palaces, go down to the city on foot (there are stairs going down from Certosa). Insanely beautiful! I quote Muratov: “Nowhere will you see so many people staring at the world as you meet on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, laid along the slopes of Mount Sant’Elmo.”

However, Posilippo Hill is most famous for its views, but I didn’t get to it. Still, it is a bit far from the center. Maybe next time I'll go for these species.

From Naples Station:

When you leave the Naples train station or arrive by bus from the airport, you will find yourself in the huge Piazza Garibaldi square. The historical center and all attractions are located on the opposite side from the station. First you will have to go through a not very pleasant area with an abundance of black counterfeit sellers. In the square in the center there is the Garibaldi metro station (line 1, line 2 metro station is located under the station).

At the other end of the square there will be a long avenue corso Umberto I (Corso Umberto I), which stretches to piazza Bovio (Piazza Bovio) and further, changing the name to via Agostino Depretis (via Agostino Depretis), leads to piazza del Municipio (Piazza del Municipio) and Maschio Angioino fortress.

At the beginning of Corso Umberto, on its left side there will be Mercato district- there are no less suspicious people there, so be careful with your bags (I had a record - a tablet was stolen from my pocket in just 1 hour in the city, and even without a crowd 🙁).

To the right from Corso Umberto, the wide street Via Duomo runs perpendicularly, along which you can walk to . From the station to the cathedral it is about 20 minutes on foot. Perpendicular to Via Duomo are the main tourist streets of the center of Naples - Via dei Tribunale and Via San Biagio Dei Librai, along which there are many interesting churches, restaurants and souvenir shops.

The long street Via Toledo goes from (metro station line 1 Museo) through Piazza Dante - Piazza Dante (metro station line 1 Dante) past the metro station Toledo (the most beautiful metro station, line 1) to Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace of Naples), large area Piazza Plebiscita And . From here, behind the royal castle, there will be one of the main - Castel dell'Ovo.

You can get to the museum of the same name within the block by almost any bus from the stop nearby (Museo metro station).

Via Partenope (via Partenope) and via Caracciolo (via Caracciolo) are favorite walking spots for both visitors and Neapolitans. At the height of the summer season there are many bars, discos and other night entertainment venues.
