Naples: Attractions and more...
There are so many lovely attractions (natural and cultural) in the charming
city of Naples that there is sure to be something for everyone.
If you love culture, here is a list of some (there is really a great number
of them) of the wonderful museums of the city: the National Archaelogical
Museum of Naples, the Museum of Capodimonte, the Museum
Principe Aragona Pignatelli Cortes, the Museum Civico di Castel
Nuovo (Maschio Angioino), the Museum Artistico industriale,
the Museum Ferroviario Nazionale and the National Museum
of San Martino.
The fantastic Palazzo Reale, commissioned in 1600 by Spanish
viceroys and finally completed in 1843, it has been the home of many great nobles,
including the wealthy Charles III of Bourbon. On the first floor there are 30
rooms that can be viewed in all their grandeur. Since 1925, the palace has also
been home to the National Library, which includes the vast Farnese collection
brought to Naples by Charles of Bourbon, containing more than 2000 papyruses
discovered at Herculaneum. Another impressive palace, surely a tourist must,
is the elegant Monte di Pietà built at the beginning
of the 16th century.
Unforgettable will be a visit to the Underground Naples, a
fascinating series of underground tunnels, passageways and stairs, leading into
a series of halls and rooms.
