Piazza Municipio is one of the largest squares in Europe and represents the administrative center of Naples. It is bordered by Palazzo San Giacomo (seat of the Municipality) and the Maschio Angioino (Castel Nuovo), extending to the port area of the Stazione Marittima. The square has recently taken on a new architectural configuration that integrates the archaeological remains of the ancient Roman port discovered during the subway excavations. It is a fundamental interchange hub between the monumental center, the port, and the artery of via Toledo.

Piazza del Plebiscito is the largest and most representative square in Naples, located between the seafront and via Toledo. Its shape is defined by the semicircular colonnade of the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola and the facade of the Palazzo Reale, which face each other on opposite sides. The pedestrian area, paved with lava stone, hosts the two equestrian statues of Charles III and Ferdinand I of Bourbon. Due to its size and central location, the square is the city's main venue for large events, ceremonies, and concerts, acting as a link between the monumental center and the port area.

The Royal Palace of Naples overlooks Piazza del Plebiscito and was founded in 1600 as the residence of the Spanish viceroys, later becoming the seat of the Bourbons and the Savoys. The building houses the Historic Apartment, with rooms decorated in Baroque and Neoclassical style, and the National Library. The main facade is famous for the eight statues in the external niches depicting the sovereigns of the ruling dynasties of Naples. It is located a short walk from Galleria Umberto I and the Teatro San Carlo, representing the heart of the city's monumental center. Another unmissable stop!
