Free Walking Tour of Naples Old Town

The walk starts in Piazza Dante and enters the old town through Port'Alba, a gate opened in the city walls under a Spanish viceroy. In Piazza Bellini the guide points out the excavated remains of Greek Naples, with Renaissance and Baroque palaces standing around them.

The route then follows Via dei Tribunali, one of the oldest streets in the city, with stops at the Pulcinella sculpture, where you hear the story of the mask, and at the ancient monument to the god Nile, dated to the 2nd or 3rd century. After the church of Purgatorio ad Arco and Santa Chiara, the tour ends in Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, a little over two hours after the start. The order of the stops can change.
