Piazza Bellini, Ancient Greek-era square in Centro Storico, Naples, Italy.

The plaza features exposed ancient ruins of western walls from Neapolis, surrounded by historical palaces and modern establishments.

Archaeological excavations in 1954 and 1984 revealed the Greek city walls of Neapolis, which remain visible within the square today.

The square received a statue of composer Vincenzo Bellini in 1886, connecting the space to the nearby Music Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella.

Located near Via dei Tribunali and the National Archaeological Museum, the square serves as a central point for exploring Naples historical center.

The exposed Greek ruins create a deep archaeological canyon within the square, displaying multiple layers of Neapolitan history.
