Castel Nuovo, Naples

Ref_1206
Castel Nuovo ("New Castle"), often called Maschio Angioino ("Angevin Keep"), is a medieval castle located in front of Piazza Municipio and the city hall (Palazzo San Giacomo) in central Naples, Campania, Italy. Its scenic location and imposing size make the castle, first erected in 1279, one of the main architectural landmarks of the city. It was a royal seat for kings of Naples, Aragon, and Spain until 1815.

It is the headquarters of the Neapolitan Society of Homeland History and of the Naples Committee of the Institute for the History of the Italian Risorgimento. In the complex, there is also the civic museum, which includes the Palatine Chapel and the museum paths on the first and second floors.
