Let's take a walk around the historical centre of Naples on this live streamed virtual tour. We will start at the Greek foundation with its ancient walls, and then move to Piazza del Gesù with its monumental Gothic and Baroque churches. Then, walk along the old streets of the Greek-Roman city, full of stores selling crafts and majestic palaces of aristocratic families. Along the way, I will ask you simple questions about the city and tell you funny anecdotes about its history.
Stop for a bit in Piazza San Domenico to admire the monumental church and the obelisk of the Dominicans. Continue to the area of the Old forum, passing along Via San Gregorio Armeno, an atmospheric street with stores of cribs and the statuettes of VIPs, and symbols of superstition of the Neapolitans such as horns to protect themselves from the evil eye.
The tour will continue to Via Tribunali, where we will see the church with the bronze skulls, the Romanesque bell tower of the Pietrasanta church and the incredible marble table used as a chessboard in the Roman world. We will finish our tour by passing through the monumental Port'Alba, one of the entrances to the city in the 17th century, to arrive at Piazza Dante, the old animal market that exists from the time of the plague in 1656.
