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.
