Naples (Italian: Napoli, Neapolitan: Nàpule) is a historic city in southern Italy, the capital of the Campania region and the province of Naples. The city is noted for its rich history, art, culture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence;
Within the scope of suburb San Pietro a Patierno is the Naples International Airport, the most important airport in southern Italy.
Naples enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and warm to hot, dry summers. The mild climate and the geographical richness of the bay of Naples made it famous during Roman times, when emperors chose the city as a favourite holiday location.
Prominent forms of architecture in Naples are from the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods. The historic centre of Naples is typically the most fruitful for architecture and is in fact listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The central and
main open city square or piazza of the city is the Piazza del Plebiscito. It was
started by Bonapartist king Joachim Murat and finished by Bourbon king Ferdinand
IV. It is bounded on the east by the Royal Palace and on the west by the church
of San Francesco di Paola with the colonnades extending to both sides. Nearby
is the Teatro di San Carlo, which is the oldest and largest opera house on the
Italian peninsula. Directly across from San Carlo is Galleria Umberto, a shopping
centre and active centre of Neapolitan social life in general.
Naples is famous for its historic castles: the ancient Castel Nuovo is one of the most notable architectural representatives on the city, also known as Maschio Angioino; it was built during the time of Charles I, the first ever king of Naples. Castel Nuovo has hosted some historical religious events: for example, in 1294, Pope Celestine V resigned as pope in a hall of the castle, and following this Pope Boniface VIII was elected pope here by the cardinal collegium, and immediately moved to Rome.
The castle which Nuovo replaced in importance was the Norman founded Castel dell'Ovo. Its name means Egg Castle and it is built on the tiny islet Megarides, where the Cumaean colonists founded the city. The third most noted castle is Sant'Elmo which was completed in 1329 and is built in the shape of a star. During the uprising of Masaniello, the Spanish took refuge in Sant'Elmo to escape revolutionaries.
