L’ascensore di Monte Echia a Napoli

This redevelopment project has transformed one of the most beautiful places in the city, offering a breathtaking panorama. Located between Via Santa Lucia and Chiatamone, the elevator connects the waterfront to the beautiful hill of Pizzofalcone. From here, you can admire a panoramic view that ranges from Capodimonte to Vesuvius, from Sorrento to Capri, from Castel dell’Ovo to Posillipo. This viewpoint is also famous for appearing in the TV series “The Bastards of Pizzofalcone”. The elevator is free for ANM subscribers and residents, and the service hours are from 7:00 AM to 10:30 PM. An unmissable opportunity to admire the beauty of Naples!

 

In short, Via Chiatamone and Borgo Santa Lucia offer a combination of history, art, views, and Neapolitan authenticity. Choosing to stay here will allow you to fully experience the soul of this fascinating city.

Partenope and its wonders

Piazza del Plebiscito is one of the symbolic places of Naples. Located between the seafront and Via Toledo, this historic square is rich in history and art. Here’s what you can see

 

Basilica di San Francesco di Paola: This neoclassical basilica, inspired by the colonnade of St. Peter’s in Rome, is an example of elegant architecture. It was built by the will of Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies after the expulsion of Joachim Murat from the city.

 

Statue equestri: In front of the basilica, you will find the equestrian statues of Charles III of Bourbon and his son Ferdinand I. These sculptures celebrate the return of the Bourbon dynasty after the Napoleonic interlude.

 

Gran Caffè Gambrinus: One of the most elegant historic venues in Naples, Gran Caffè Gambrinus is perfect for sipping a good coffee and soaking in the atmosphere of the square.

 

Palazzo Reale: Not far from the square, the Royal Palace is an architectural gem that tells the story of the Bourbon monarchs. It houses works of art and masterpieces.

Napoli Sotterranea:

Descend into the depths of the city to explore the tunnels, galleries, and underground cavities. Here you will find the Munaciello, a legendary sprite that lives in the Neapolitan underground. Underground Naples is a fascinating place to explore!

La Galleria Borbonica, located at Vico del Grottone, 4, or by the access in Via Morelli, really close to Palazzo Chiatamone, is one of the most fascinating places in the Neapolitan underground. It is named after King Ferdinand II of Bourbon, who had it built in 1853 with the aim of creating a secret connection between the Royal Palace and Piazza Vittoria, close to the sea and the barracks, to allow a safe escape for the King in case of danger.

After the visit, you can stroll along the waterfront or dedicate yourself to shopping along Via Toledo or Via Chiaia. Naples awaits you!
