Historic Centre of Naples
Naples is the third-largest municipality in
Italy, after Rome and Milan. It is one of the oldest continuously-inhabited
cities in the world and has long been a major cultural centre with a global
sphere of influence, particularly during the Renaissance and Enlightenment eras.
In 1995, the Historic Centre of Naples, which is the largest in Europe, was
listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Thank you very much Roberto, for
sending me this beautiful postcard from Naples. The card shows some culturally
and historically significant sites of the historic centre. The most prominent
one is the Castel Nuovo, which is main symbol of the architecture of the city. Others
including, the Piazza del Plebiscito, the Spaccanapoli Street, the Galleria Umberto I and the Royal Palace of Naples.
