New Castle




History

This castle represents one of the symbols of Naples. It was called "new castle" since its construction in order to distinguish it from the other more ancient fortresses of Ovo and Capuano. This castle is also called "Maschio Angioino" (Angevin Donjon) because it was built by the king Charles I d'Anjou (1279-82) under the direction of the French architect Pietro da Charles on the spot where some Franciscans had founded their house of Santa Maria ad platinum.


The Arch of Triumph of this castle is considered the most beautiful example of the Renaissance in Naples.
