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.

The world-famous mural of Diego Armando Maradona in the Quartieri Spagnoli in Naples was originally painted in 1990 by the Neapolitan artist Mario Filardi, following SSC Napoli's second league title. Over the years, the work was damaged by weather influences and structural interventions. At the end of the 1990s, a window was even installed where Maradona's face was, severely disfiguring the portrait. In 2016, the mural was restored for the first time by local artist Salvatore Iodice, who stabilized the work and gave it new color. A year later, in 2017, the Argentine street artist Francisco Bosoletti was asked to specifically rework Maradona's face. Bosoletti redrew the face entirely, with more expression and realism, while the rest of the mural was preserved.
