Maschio Angioino Castle (Castel Nuovo) is one of the most majestic landmarks on the map of Naples. This 13th-century palace was once visited by Petrarch and Boccaccio. It houses the exquisite Palatine Chapel and a vast collection of 14th-century frescoes.
Sant'Elmo Castle (Sant'Elmo) - photos of this landmark in Naples are simply incredible! From the walls of Sant'Elmo Castle, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples, and inside, there is the Museum of Art History.
Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli - the name of this sight of Naples in Russian sounds like "National Museum of Archeology of Naples". Here is a huge collection of antiquities - ancient Greek sculptures of Athena and Aphrodite, mosaics from Pompeii, frescoes from Herculaneum and much more.
Umberto Gallery (Galleria Umberto) - even a detailed description of this attraction of Naples will not reflect all its magnificence! A unique architectural structure opposite the San Carlo Theater is a giant arcade with glass vaults.
The zodiac circle is laid out on the marble floor of the gallery - every tourist considers it his duty to find his constellation in it and scroll around his axis while standing on it. Happiness and prosperity will be provided!
Another location on the map of Naples with attractions is the San Severo Chapel, one of the most mystical places in the city.
Firstly, there is a stunning sculpture "Christ under the Shroud" (in Italian, the name of this attraction in Naples sounds like Il Cristo Velato). The work is amazing, it seems that someone has just thrown a thin veil over the body of the Savior.
Secondly, the anatomical museum inside the crypt attracts tourists, in particular the remains of a man and a woman with a remarkably well-preserved circulatory system. Rumour has it that Raymondo de Sangro, the chapel's founder, gave two of his servants poison - the poor men's blood vessels hardened and the bodies are still the main exhibits in the museum today.
