Borgo Santa Lucia, Historical district in Naples, Italy.

The maritime neighborhood extends along Via Santa Lucia and its cross streets, encompassing the Islet of Megaride with Borgo Marinari and Castel dell'Ovo.

General Lucullus constructed his villa in this area during Roman times, which later became the residence of Romulus Augustus, the last Western Roman Emperor.

The district evolved from a fishing settlement to a distinguished quarter during the Spanish rule through architectural improvements by Domenico Fontana.

The area connects to the Lungomare waterfront promenade, providing access to hotels, restaurants, and views of the Mediterranean Sea.

The ancient Greeks from Cumae established their first market harbor called Falero in this location, leading to the foundation of Partenope.
