Castel Nuovo

The five massive towers of the 15th-century Castel Nuovo (New Castle) dominate the Naples waterfront. A magnificent Renaissance gateway accesses the central courtyard, which is surrounded by buildings housing the Museo Civico (Civic Museum), the splendid Gothic Sala dei Baroni (Baron's Hall) and the Cappella Palatina (Palatine Chapel), the only surviving part of a 13th-century building. Nearby is the imposing 17th-century Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace) and the famous San Carlo opera house.
