Naples Attractions

The Palzzzo Reale (The Royal Palace) is a unique palace that was built at the beginning of the 17th Century by Domenico Fontana and has since become an icon of Neopolitan history. The museum houses furniture, artefacts and details of the Spanish Bourbons family who resided there and some of the various Naples monarchs who became linked to it in later years.

This Castel was built in the late 13th century by Charles I, king of Naples, as a royal residence for the House of Anjou. Since its reconstruction in the mid-15th Century, the castle is distinguished by a trio of imposing round battle towers at its front. Get an insight into 14th and 15th century history in this region and see some frescoes and sculptures in the castle.

This Cathedral was constructed over an old Paleochristian church in the 13th century and has since had 3 major modifications. The main attraction of this temple is the San Genaro’s Chapel, where two bottles with the blood of the saint are kept.
