The Teatro di San Carlo, formerly the Real Teatro di San Carlo, often referred to as the Teatro San Carlo, is an opera theater in Naples, as well as one of the most famous and prestigious in the world. It is the oldest opera house in Europe and the world still active, having been founded in 1737, as well as one of the most capacious Italian-style theaters on the peninsula.

It can accommodate more than two thousand spectators and has a large stalls (22×28×23 m), five tiers of boxes arranged in a horseshoe shape plus a large royal box, a gallery and a stage (34×33 m). Given its size, structure and antiquity it was a model for subsequent theaters in Europe. Overlooking the street of the same name and, laterally, Piazza Trieste e Trento, the theatre, in line with the other great architectural works of the period, such as the great Bourbon palaces, was the symbol of a Naples that underlined its status as a great European capital .

The Royal Palace of Naples is one of the four residences used by the royal house of the Bourbons of Naples during the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies; the other three are the palace of Capodimonte located north of the historic center, the palace of Caserta and the palace of Portici on the slopes of Vesuvius.

Of considerable size, the palace majestically overlooks the monumental area of Piazza del Plebiscito and is surrounded by other important and imposing buildings such as the Salerno Palace, the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola and the Prefecture Palace.

Throughout its history, the palace became the residence of the Spanish viceroys, then of the Austrian ones and, later, of the kings of the House of Bourbon. After the unification of Italy it was named the Neapolitan residence of the sovereigns of the House of Savoy.

Also designed with the intention of being a monumental work itself, like the others surrounding it (Maschio Angioino, Real Teatro San Carlo, Palazzo Reale, Basilica of San Francesco Di Paola) the Umberto I gallery, since its construction, it immediately became a fundamental commercial hub of the city of Naples, thanks also to its location which sees it surrounded by the streets of the struscio such as Via Toledo, Via Santa Brigida and the not far away Via Medina. Also due to its proximity to important places of culture and politics, the Gallery soon also became the social center of the city. This housed the city's shoe shiners for over 50 years. Having your shoes shined inside the gallery was a custom allowed to the chic men of the city of Naples. Today this "ritual" has disappeared, although one last "veteran" shouscià remains, who continues the tradition at the entrance to the Gallery on the Via Toledo side.

The Umberto I Gallery seen from the Certosa di San Martino Inside the Gallery there are the entrances to four buildings, structured on three floors, of which the first two are used almost exclusively for the commercial activities present in the Gallery (mostly fashion and clothing shops, restaurants and cafes), while the top floor remains intended for private homes or hotels. The interior of the buildings has recently undergone restoration work which has brought the many decorative sculptures, the imposing busts and the characteristic Art Nouveau decorations back to their original appearance. On the second floor of the main facade there is the coral museum and it occupies most of it, from the balconies of the museum the stucco reliefs of the facade of the Theater of San Carlo are almost "within reach" and so are the famous marble sculptures by Carlo Nicoli which severely support the large windows of the main halls.

Castel Nuovo, or also Maschio Angioino, is a historic medieval and Renaissance castle, as well as one of the symbols of the city of Naples.

The castle dominates the scenic Piazza Municipio and is home to the Neapolitan Society of Homeland History and the Naples Committee of the Institute for the History of the Italian Risorgimento, housed in the premises of the SNSP.

The civic museum is also located in the complex, which includes the palatine chapel and the museum itineraries on the first and second floors.

The Valenzi Foundation has its representative office there, inaugurated on 15 November 2009 by the President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano and other authorities, as part of the celebration of one hundred years since the birth of Maurizio Valenzi.

The Castel dell'Ovo (Castrum Ovi, in Latin) is the oldest castle in the city of Naples[1] and is one of the elements that stand out most in the famous panorama of the gulf. It is located between the districts of San Ferdinando and Chiaia, in front of the Mergellina area. Due to various events that partially destroyed the original Norman appearance and thanks to the subsequent reconstruction works that took place during the Angevin and Aragonese periods, the architectural line of the castle changed drastically until reaching the state in which it presents itself today. Its name derives from an ancient legend according to which the Latin poet Virgil - who in the Middle Ages was also considered a magician - hid an egg in the building's dungeons which kept the entire fortress standing. Its failure would have caused not only the collapse of the castle, but also a series of disastrous catastrophes for the city of Naples. During the 14th century, at the time of Joanna I, the castle suffered extensive damage due to the partial collapse of the arch on which it rested and, to prevent panic from spreading among the population due to the presumed future catastrophes that would hit the city , the queen had to swear that she had replaced the egg.

Villa Floridiana hosts a museum dedicated to decorative arts: the Duca di Martina National Ceramic Museum. The museum houses, next to the private apartments of the Duchess and the ladies, a rich collection of objects from the second half of the nineteenth century, collected, kept and donated to Naples in 1911 by the Duke of Martina. Alongside the duchess's private rooms, there is also a dining room, a small rectangular chapel, a colonnaded atrium which connected via a staircase to the apartment above, a billiard room, one of the audience rooms and a large gallery. Today little remains of the furniture and primitive decoration, inspired by classical subjects: mythological deities, nymphs and sea monsters, all made in stucco or painted on light green and lilac colored backgrounds. The park of the Villa Floridiana is a scenographic alternation of winding paths and shady groves, with large areas occupied by prairies and open towards the gulf, in a fascinating synthesis of geometric elements typical of the Italian garden and of perspective solutions of the garden English. In the back of the villa, there is also a small pond with turtles.

The other side of Naples. Every era, from the foundation of Neapolis to the bombs of the Second World War, has left its mark on the yellow tuff walls, stone with which the city is built.

Forty meters deep beneath the noisy and characteristic streets of the historic center of Naples, there is a world apart, still largely unexplored, isolated in its age-old quiet and yet closely connected to the city.

It is the womb of Naples, from which it itself was born. Visiting it means taking a journey through time lasting two thousand four hundred years. Everyone appreciates the exceptional beauty, culture and art of Naples, but few know the history of the underground. The work of the Napoli Sotterranea Association is entirely aimed at recovering the subsoil and its valorisation.

The archaeological excavations of Pompeii have revealed the remains of the ancient city of Pompeii, near the Civita hill, at the gates of modern Pompeii, buried under a blanket of ashes and lapilli during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79, together with Herculaneum, Stabiae and Oplontis.

The findings following the excavations, begun at the behest of Charles III of Bourbon, are one of the best testimonies of Roman life, as well as the best preserved city of that era; the majority of the finds recovered (in addition to simple furnishings of daily use also frescoes, mosaics and statues) are today preserved in the national archaeological museum of Naples and in a small quantity in the Antiquarium of Pompeii, currently closed: precisely the considerable quantity of finds it was useful for understanding the habits, customs, eating habits and art of life of over two millennia ago.
