The historic center of Naples is a unique place in the world: fascinating, chaotic, mysterious and incredibly lively.
It is the beating heart of the city, where past and present merge in the narrow streets, with neighborhood voices and hidden wonders around every corner.
Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997, it is one of the oldest and densest urban centers in Europe, but also one of the most intense to live: here history is not visited, but breathed.
Among noble palaces, baroque churches, popular legends, ghosts and miracles, every stone tells a story. A walk in the famous Spaccanapoli , the beating heart of the city, allows you to lose yourself among artisan workshops, votive shrines, sounds, scents and colors unknown elsewhere.
Just a few more steps and you will find yourself in the magic of San Gregorio Armeno , the street of nativity scenes, where Neapolitan art, between tradition and creativity, is renewed every day.
And then there is it: the Cathedral of Naples , guardian of the blood of San Gennaro, symbol of faith and identity.
The historic center is all this: history and folklore, art and devotion, mystery and humanity , mixed in a surprising balance.
