Naples is one of the oldest cities in the world and the largest in Europe. The Greeks have founded it in the 8th and 9th century BC. Naples sits at the west coast of Italy by the Gulf of Naples near the famous Mount Vesuvius. It has a wealth of history, culture, art and architecture that go back 2,800 years in Italy’s rich history. UNESCO has listed the city as one of the World Heritage Sites.
It boasts of about 448 historical churches, which has made Naples one of the most Catholic cities in the world. There are fascinating monuments and structures that bear ancient architecture including castles and fountains. If you want to walk down history lane, walking down the streets of Naples would be a remarkable experience.
Naples is also a home to the best tasting real Italian pasta and pizza, which has remained unaltered after so many years. In fact, a Julia Roberts’ film has featured a famous pizzeria in Naples, which has attracted many tourists who have seen the movie.
Your visit to Naples can never be complete without indulging in the best tasting pizza in the world.
