Castel Nuovo
Castel Nuovo, known locally as Maschio Angioino, rises dramatically beside Piazza Municipio as one of Naples’ most recognisable medieval landmarks. Commissioned by Charles I of Anjou in the late 13th century, the fortress quickly became the royal seat of the Angevin court, later reshaped by Aragonese rulers who added the striking triumphal arch that still dominates its entrance. Its massive towers and dark volcanic stone give it a commanding presence overlooking the port, a reminder of its strategic role in defending the cityVisit Naples Official. Inside, visitors encounter the Hall of the Barons, once the heart of political life, and the Palatine Chapel, the last surviving element of the original Angevin palace, adorned with traces of Renaissance sculpture. Today, Castel Nuovo stands as a vivid symbol of Naples’ layered history, bridging royal splendour, military power, and the city’s enduring maritime identity.
Naples ItalyCastel Nuovo, also known as Maschio Angioino, is located in central Naples on Via Vittorio Emanuele III, directly facing Piazza Municipio and the City Hall (Palazzo San Giacomo), just by the port area. It stands a short walk from the Beverello pier and cruise terminal, where ferries depart for Capri and the other islands in the Bay of Naples, and is close to the Municipio metro stop, providing easy access from the rest of the city. Nearby you will also find key landmarks such as Piazza del Plebiscito, the Royal Palace of Naples, Teatro di San Carlo, Galleria Umberto I, and the waterfront promenade, making the castle a focal point within Naples’ historic and tourist heart.
