20의 마라노 디 나폴리가지 명소 & 주요 장소

"Piazza Plebiscito," as Neapolitans often call it, is one of Naples's iconic landmarks, considered the city's "good living room" and immortalized in postcards, films, documentaries, and TV series. It's an ideal selfie spot, offering a breathtaking view of the unmistakable profile of Mount Vesuvius. Definitely a must-see on a trip to Naples.

King Charles VII of Naples had to reside here after his accession to the throne in 1735. It is a magnificent palace in the middle of the city. But it was not representative enough for King Charles. In 1752 he had a palace built in Caserta. He wanted to move the court there after it was finished. But this did not happen because before it was finished he became King of Spain as Charles III.

Historic square, scene of many events

The Royal Palace of Naples was founded as the palace of the King of Spain Philip III of Habsburg in the year 1600, on the initiative of the viceroy Fernando Ruiz de Castro Count of Lemos and the vicereine Catarina Zuñiga y Sandoval. Its urban location next to the Palazzo Vicereale Vecchio, later demolished, and the gardens of Castel Nuovo continues the traditional position of the royal residence in Naples on the southern edge of the old city, with the façade facing west, where the large open space of the Largo di Palazzo opens up.

Its history goes back to the first half of the 16th century, when the Spanish viceroy Pedro Álvarez de Toledo had a castle built at the port of Naples. The architect Domenico Fontana was commissioned to build a new building around 1600, which was largely completed by 1620. In 1735 it became the royal residence when the Kingdom of Naples gained its independence under Charles VII. Various extensions and reconstruction work took place in the following decades.

A huge parade ground lies

As part of the ARD series “Classics of World Literature” by and with Tilman Spengler, a short film (in German) presents the life and, as an outstanding work, the “Divina Commedia” by => DANTE ALIGHIERI (1265 to 1321) – the great poet in the Italian language and creator of the above-mentioned “Divine Comedy”. The Florentine native died and was buried in Ravenna. Let us hope that he has actually reached heaven – like his literary alter ego – and that he has found his dearly beloved Beatrice there. Anyone who would like to find out more in the ARD media library (the German-language film only lasts a quarter of an hour) just needs to follow the link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/dante-alighieri/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvL2E0YmE3OWQzLTk2NjAtNGUyYS04OTBlLTY2N2E5YmJjNGZlNw
