Historic Centre of Naples, UNESCO World Heritage Site in Naples, Italy

The Historic Centre of Naples extends across narrow streets and small squares, containing numerous churches, palaces, and architectural monuments spanning multiple centuries.

Founded in the 8th century BC, Naples developed from two ancient settlements: one on Pizzofalcone promontory and another in the current historical center.

The Cathedral of Naples houses the venerated vials of San Gennaro's blood, which draws thousands of visitors during the annual September liquefaction ceremony.

The Naples Pass provides access to main attractions throughout the historical center, with designated routes connecting major landmarks and archaeological sites.

Underground caves beneath the historic center formed an ancient water supply system, now open for exploration through tunnels and Roman cisterns.
