For a big dollop of history and castles, Naples stands out as the place to go. The different castels it has are the Castel Capuano, Castel Dell'Ovo, and Castel Sant'Elmo. The first castel is actually a Normann castle the location where the city's civil courts used to be. It was constructed by William I to guard the city gate of Porta Capuana. It was later increased by King Frederick II. The Castel Dell'Ovo in English is the Castle of the Egg. This was so named because it is actually believed that Virgil, the Roman poet laid to rest an egg on the site of the castle warning that if the egg breaks or cracks, the castle and Naples will fall. The last castle was used in past times as a military jail. It has not seen much of any military action and the most significant blow it received was in 1587. It came not from enemy fire but from a bolt of lightning that hit the gunpowder stock.

There are lots of religious sites in Napels and some of the most well-known are the Chiesa Santa Maria delle Anime Purgatorio Ad Arco, Chiesa Santa Maria in Portico, and the Chiesa Santa Caterina a Formiello. The Anime Purgatorio is a macabre 17th century church shielded by three bronze skulls. On the inside of the church, notice the altar adorned with 2 winged skulls. This particular church had been constructed by a congregation focused on praying for the souls in purgatory. Santa Maria in Portico is where you get a dose of baroque structures. Frescoes by Fabrizio Santafede and Paolo De Matteis adorn the walls of this 17th century church. The most wonderful church in Naple could be the Santa Caterina. Artefacts of martyrs of the Otranto can be found in this ornately embellished Renaissance church.
