Itinerary
The walking tour of Naples includes the Palazzo Reale of Naples, constructed in the early 17th century as the residence of Spanish viceroys and later used by the Bourbon kings of the Two Sicilies. Nearby, the route passes the Galleria Umberto I, a late-19th-century shopping arcade built after the cholera epidemic of 1884, covered by an iron and glass dome and connected to the area around the Teatro di San Carlo.

From this area, the itinerary continues through the Quartieri Spagnoli, a district laid out in the 16th century under the viceroy Pedro de Toledo to house Spanish troops. The walk reaches the Mercato della Pignasecca, one of the oldest street markets in the city, where food stalls and small shops reflect daily commerce in Naples and its long-standing market traditions.
The tour then follows Spaccanapoli, the ancient decumanus that cuts across the historic center along the line of the Greek and Roman city. Along this axis are Via San Gregorio Armeno, known for its workshops producing traditional nativity figures, and Via dei Tribunali, corresponding to the major Roman decumanus, where archaeological layers and churches illustrate the continuity of urban life from antiquity to the present.
