Tour of Pompeii

We’ve talked about the importance of Pompeii in other parts of this site too. Just remember that it’s a unique example of a city buried and preserved by a volcanic eruption.

Tour of Naples: a very picturesque city

Otherwise in a tour of Naples you can see that there are still tracks of Greek and Roman ruins and that’s so exciting.

You can visit the Cathedral, feeling the presence of Gennaro, the saint protector of the city. In fact, Neapolitans are very religious, but superstitious too at the same time. They prey all the saints, but they keep with themselves small red horns and other objects against bad luck. That’s why to walk around this city can be a very picturesque experience. The local shops are full of religious and superstitious symbols, statues of Saints, small horns, carnival masks, original objects with local idioms, cards, even symbols of death. In fact you should know about the devotion of the Neapolitans for their ancestors and dead people in general. It’s a city with a primitive, powerful energy. Here we shout instead of talking, we’re lively, full of passion.

The Neapolitan Nativities to celebrate Christmas are famous all around the world too.

The tour of Naples is an opportunity to see a unique city.

Tour of Naples: a city full of monuments

It’s impossible to talk about all the monuments of Naples in this section. I will explain them better in other sections. Let me just tell you that the heart of the city is Piazza del Plebiscito, the biggest square. Around it there are all the most famous monuments, like the San Carlo Theater, the Umberto Gallery, the Maschio Angioino Castle. If you go ahead, after the square there is the wonderful seaside too.

On the other side of the city there is the ancient city center with the Roman streets.

The panoramic area is on the higher part of the city.

Anyway, it’s impossible to tell you how many interesting things there are in Naples only in this section. That’s only a sort of introduction.
