What Makes Naples So Special?
Now, you can start exploring Naples by walking around the historic city center, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, like pretty much all Italy. And it’s also one of the Did you know it’s actually one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on Earth? Absolutely. Yeah. This is a place where Greek, Roman, and Baroque history isn’t locked away in some museum. It’s in the fabric of the streets. You can literally walk through time here. It’s in the fabric of the streets. For example, a stroll down Spakanopoly. I love saying that. Is a street that cuts the old city in half and it feels like a trip through the centuries. And at the end of Spakanopoly, you’ll then turn to San Gregorio Armano where you’re going to shop for stunning nativity scenes with figurines of famous people on either side of the street. And from there you can go to the underground Napoli Sautterania to explore the hidden world of ancient Greek Roman aqueducts that run right beneath the city. Another site that you can’t miss is the Sense Seo Chapel. It’s one of the world’s most stunning sculptures. It’s a veiled Christ, a figure of Jesus under a marble veil. So realistic it’s impossible to believe that it was carved from stone. And a short walk away from there, you’ll find a monument of peace in the Santa Kiara Monastery with a breathtaking cloister decorated with brightly colored tiles. And don’t forget to visit the magnificent duomo of Naples where supposedly the blood of Saninaro, the city St. Patron of the city is kept. Now, a visit to Naples would not be completed without stopping in Patza Plebishito to admire the amazing royal palace in a majestic patza. Also, a stroll in the galleria where you can stop for a fresh splotella pastry is an absolute must. And this is the great paradox of Naples, right? The stark contrast between the gritty and the vibrant street life and the sublime beauty tucked away in its churches, palaces, and museum.
Explore Naples’ historic center, a UNESCO site, and one of Earth’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. See Spaccanapoli, shop for nativity scenes, and discover hidden aqueducts. Don’t miss the Sansevero Chapel and Duomo of Naples. #Naples #Italy #travel #history #art

About us:
In March 2017, Rick and Andrea (confessed Travel Addicts) started a Facebook Group called Travel Addicts as a way to share their travel photos and videos not just with their own respective friend’s lists – but with the world. Part of the reason was for bragging rights (I mean, that’s kind of the point of sharing photos, right?), but also to help answer questions to others about the destinations they have visited.
After inviting some of our friends and family, it grew and grew – and as of June 2019, the group has grown to over 200,000 members! One reason for our success, we believe, is that we have done our best to ensure only high-quality photos and videos get shared, all while limiting the use of commercial content.

The Veiled Christ, the building it’s in and the other exhibits are some of the coolest art I’ve seen in Italy. And it has a tiny fraction of the crowds that plague David or Pietà.
Modern visitors to Naples won’t get to experience the great garbage strikes. There was something you don’t see every day.
Will do this place in 2027. Seems like my kind of town. Athens in 26. Q; is it true a part of N rose like 5cm in a short period bec of reemergence of volcanic threat?
