Villa Comunale, Urban park in Naples, Italy
Villa Comunale extends for one kilometer along the Naples coast between Pizzofalcone and Posillipo Hills, following the curve of the bay from Piazza Vittoria.
King Ferdinand IV constructed this park in the 1780s on reclaimed coastal land, initially establishing it as a Royal Garden restricted to members of the royal family.
The park contains numerous sculptures, statues, busts, and the Meridien Obelisk, reflecting the design influence of French gardens by architect Vanvitelli.
The Anton Dohrn Aquarium, established in the 1870s, operates within the park grounds, offering visitors both scientific education and marine life observation opportunities.
The addition of Via Caracciolo in 1900 created a seaside road between the aquarium and the Mediterranean, connecting Naples center with its western suburbs.
