Impressive, spacious, and obviously full of history. However, as with pretty much all of Napoli, it is plagued by graffiti, rubbish and kids booting footballs around. Worth visiting on your way down to the seafront though! More

It's wide, sweeping arms remind you of Rome and St. Peter's, if it weren't for all of the spray paint and urine. It makes me... More

Concerts, musicians, crowds, people hawking their wares. And fireworks galore. Just watch where they are being set off so one doesn't shoot past your ear! More
