Castel dell'Ovo or the Egg Castle is a castle situated on the former island of Megaride, which is a peninsula, in Naples, Campania.

The significance of this historic building began to decline when King Charles I of Anjou built a new castle, the Castel Nuovo, moving his court there. Castel dell'Ovo became the seat of the Royal Chamber and of the State Treasury.

This castle is linked by a causeway which is a famous place for newlyweds having their wedding photos taken.
