NEIGHBORHOOD

The historic center of Naples is a vibrant and multilayered urban landscape, where every alley, church, building, and square tells a thousand-year-old story. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it occupies a vast area intersecting with numerous neighboring neighborhoods: Spaccanapoli, the Decumani, the Spanish Quarters, the Port, Forcella, Vomero, Posillipo, and others. In this description, I will attempt to offer a comprehensive overview, with references to the main points of interest and local suggestions.



Spaccanapoli and the Decumani

One of the city's most iconic streets is Spaccanapoli, which ideally splits Naples in two—a route that follows the route of the lower decumanus of ancient Neapolis. Monuments, churches, artisan workshops, and historic cafés line this axis. Walking along the decumani, you enter the heart of the city center:

Via San Gregorio Armeno, known worldwide as "the street of nativity scenes," lined with artisan workshops that operate year-round.

Via dei Tribunali, once the central hub, preserves alleys, minor churches, and the aroma of street food.

At the intersection of Spaccanapoli and other urban axes is Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, with the church of the same name and its obelisk.



Churches, chapels, and "hidden" monuments

The historic center abounds with religious treasures, some truly hidden:

Cappella Sansevero, home to the famous Veiled Christ, a marble masterpiece sculpted with mastery and symbolism.

The Church of Gesù Nuovo, with its rusticated façade and splendid interior, overlooks Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, a central square in the historic center.

Church and Cloister of Santa Chiara, famous for its majolica cloister, frescoes, and medieval rooms.



Underground Naples and Ancient Strata

Beneath the streets of the city center, an underground world pulsates: tunnels, Greco-Roman ruins, galleries, and air raid shelters. A visit to Underground Naples is an immersion in the hidden roots of the city.

In addition, there are archaeological routes in the bowels of the city, where ancient Roman structures, historic cellars, and crypts emerge.



Spanish Quarters / Montecalvario

Adjacent to the historic heart, the Spanish Quarters are a maze of narrow alleys, stairways, murals, markets, and urban art.

The murals pay homage to local icons such as Maradona, Totò, De Filippo, and Sophia Loren.

The Pignasecca Market, on the edge of the Spanish Quarters, is a typical street market, with food stalls and street food—arguably the true Naples of everyday life.

The Church of Santa Maria della Mercede is located in the Montecalvario area; the Church of Sant’Anna di Palazzo is in San Ferdinando.

A special spot is the Ventaglieri area, in the Montecalvario/Avvocata neighborhoods, with a terraced park, escalators and an elevator connecting the upper and lower streets, panoramic views, and a historic church, Sant’Antoniello del Sangue di Cristo.



Porto, Forcella, Pendino

These areas connect the historic center to the coast and the port. The Port of Naples is a historic point of arrival and departure for ships, close to Castel dell’Ovo and the seafront.

Forcella is an area full of alleys, markets, and minor churches that testify to the vibrant neighborhood life.

Pendino is home to architectural elements and historic buildings that mark the transition between the center and the areas toward the central train station.



San Lorenzo, Vicarìa

These neighborhoods partially overlap with the university area.

Via Mezzocannone and the surrounding streets are historic areas linked to the Federico II University and historic university buildings.

Smaller buildings and churches dot these neighborhoods, often hidden among ordinary buildings, but invaluable to those who explore carefully.



Vomero

Although not fully within the historic center, Vomero is a hilltop neighborhood overlooking the city, accessible via funiculars and stairways.

Standing on the hill are Castel Sant'Elmo and the Certosa di San Martino, places from which to enjoy views of Naples, the Gulf, and Mount Vesuvius.

The neighborhood offers a stroll through elegant shopping, bars, and terraces.



Posillipo

Elegant and panoramic, it overlooks the sea along the Gulf. Villa Rosebery, the official residence of the President of the Republic, is one of the area's green jewels. Posillipo Hill offers unparalleled views of Naples and the coast. The area also offers access to the Pausilypon Archaeological Park, with ruins, views, and panoramic caves.



Camaldoli

On the northern edge of the city lies the Camaldoli, a green hilly area offering panoramic views and nature. The Camaldoli Urban Park extends over approximately 135 hectares of wooded greenery.



The Camaldoli Hermitage is a historic religious building of cultural interest.
