The historic center of Naples was populated by Greeks during antiquity, during the Greek colonization of southern Italy. From this time, the remains are thin, we can see in places the foundations of the original enclosure, as in Piazza Bellini.
The district is “cut” in two by the long street called Spaccanapoli that joins the Porta Capuana, medieval wall built under the Spanish. One can discover many of the city’s most beautiful churches, palaces, and the National Archaeological Museum.
