- 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 statuettes of VIPs, as well as symbols of Neapolitan superstition, such as horns to protect against 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.
- You will finish the tour by passing through the monumental Port'Alba, one of the entrances to the city in the 17th century, and arriving at Piazza Dante, the old animal market that has existed since the time of the plague in 1656.
