Caramanico Market "Poggioreale", Open-air market in the Poggioreale neighborhood, Naples, Italy

The Mercato Caramanico "Poggioreale" is a large open-air market in the Poggioreale neighborhood of Naples, near the city's main cemetery and the Centro Direzionale. It runs along Via Marino di Caramanico and offers a mix of open and covered stalls, with goods ranging from shoes and clothing to household items and fabrics sold by the yard.

The market developed over decades in the Poggioreale neighborhood, which takes its name from a royal villa built in the 15th century. Over time it grew into one of the most popular street markets in Naples, known for low prices and a wide range of goods.

The market is best known for its large shoe selection, ranging from Italian models to budget imports. Vendors call out to passersby and negotiate directly with buyers, giving the place a very direct and personal feel.

The market runs on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, from early morning to early afternoon. Arriving early gives you the best pick, as the most popular stalls get picked over quickly. There is a paid parking lot on site for those coming by car.

During the Christmas season, the market opens on select Sundays in December until the evening and adds activities for children such as popcorn and cotton candy. These special evenings turn a normally early-morning spot into a late-day gathering place for families.
