Carmine Castle, Medieval castle in Naples, Italy
The castle features solid fortifications with two prominent towers and remnants of defensive walls positioned along the current Corso Garibaldi street.
Charles III of Durazzo established the fortress in 1382, which later underwent substantial modifications during Spanish rule under viceroy Pedro Álvarez de Toledo.
The fortress played an essential role during the Neapolitan Republic's resistance against King Ferdinand IV's forces in 1799.
The remaining sections of the castle are visible from the street level, providing a reference point for understanding Naples' medieval military architecture.
The castle's original structure was partially demolished in 1900 to create space for modern urban development, leaving only two towers standing.
