Ancient AgeThe city was probably founded by the inhabitants of the Greek colony of Cuma around the VIII century B.C., with the name of
Partenope, on the actual Echia Mountain. Such installation would subsequently have been called Palepolis ("old city), when
the city would have been a little distant rifondata in the V century B.C., with the new name of Nèa-pòlis ("new city"). In the 536 Naples you/he/she was conquered by the Byzantines during the Gothic war and he/she remained also firmly in the hands of
the empire during the subsequent invasion longobarda, becoming subsequently autonomous dukedom. The life of the
dukedom was characterized by continuous wars, mainly defensives, against the powerful principalities near longobardi
and the Saracens. In 1137 the Norman ones of Roger II conquered the city, putting an end to the dukedom, and Naples entered so to belong to the territory of the Principality of Capua,
in the newborn Kingdom of Sicily, with capital Palermo;
Modern AgeIn 1442 Naples also fell into the aragonese hands, becoming one
of the most influential cities with Alfonso the Magnanimous (1442-1458), as king of this great Mediterranean state. In 1501,
during the Italian wars, the Kingdom of Naples was conquered by the Spaniards and, for over two centuries, ruled by a viceroy, on behalf of Madrid. in the seventeenth century, Austria conquered
Naples until 1734, when the kingdom was occupied by Charles of Bourbon, who rebuilt an independent state. Under the dynasty of
Bourbon Naples strengthened its role as a major European capital. With the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, Naples first saw the birth of a Jacobine Republic and then the
consequent Bourbon restoration. In 1815 with the final defeat of Napoleon and the Congress of
Vienna Naples returned again under the Bourbons. In 1860 the Kingdom of Two Sicilies was conquered by the Thousand of
Garibaldi and annexed to the Kingdom of Italy headed by Piedmont. During World War II Naples saw after the September 8, the popular uprising against occupant commonly known as the
Four Days of Naples.

piazza Castello, piazza Municipio and the Palazzo Reale and majestically overlooks the port and the sea.

Castello dell’ OvoThe city's oldest castle, the so-called 'Castle of the Egg', stands on the
islet of Megaris. According to medieval legend, the castle had links with the poet Virgil, and one of his lucky charms lies hidden in the castle
foundation. The charm is said to be an egg kept in a bottle, itself protected by a small metal cage. For as long as the egg remains intact, Naples need fear neither destruction nor invasion. The castle terrace
offers a breathtaking view of the city, sea and Bay.

Cuma
Amphitheatre
Sybil - Cave
He said, and wept; then spread his sails before The winds, and reach'd at length the Cumaean shore: Their anchors dropp'd, his crew the vessels moor. They turn their heads to sea, their sterns to land, And greet with greedy joy th' Italian strand. Some strike from clashing flints their fiery seed; Some gather sticks, the kindled flames to feed, Or search for hollow trees, and fell the woods, Or trace thro' valleys the discover'd floods.
The landing of the Troyans, led by Enea, on the shore of Cuma, Eneide, book 6 verses 1 - 9
The so-called Sybil-cave is situaded in the Archeological park of Cuma. Is a long tunnel that ends in three-roomed niche, believed to be the seat of the Sybil of Cuma. The Sibyl was a priestess sacred to the god Apollo: from her cavern she gave ambiguous interpretations of the future.
The Anphithreatre dates to Flavian times, and is the third largest in the world. Its functional architecture is an excellent example of the exceptional technological levels reached in that era.

The elegant Cloister of Heaven
Chiostro del Paradiso
Villa Cimbrone has hosted many celebrated personalities, from
Winston Churchil to Greta Garbo.The belvedere is a terrace that gives on to infinity, and has no equal in the
world.
Villa Rufolo, immersed in a verdant park, is one of the
most beautiful in Campania.
Set into the mountain, surrounded by rich Mediterranean vegetation, Positano is so picturesque as to seem stage setting Seen from the sea it looks like a huge nativity scene, a waterfall of little multicoloured houses clinging onto its sides.
SpaccanapoliAs its name suggests, this long narrow street splits Naples in two, from high-up in the San Martino district down to the central station. Because of the number of churches and palaces along it, has been likened to an 'open-air museum'. It's also one of the liveliest parts of the city, with many shops, craft workshops, buzzing university
faculties and inviting café terraces.
