Caserma Nino Bixio, Military architectural ensemble on Pizzofalcone hill, Naples, Italy
The Gran Quartiere di Pizzofalcone features a square layout with an internal courtyard surrounded by porticos on all four sides, overlooking the Gulf of Naples.
Built between 1667 and 1670 under Viceroy Pedro Antonio de Aragón, the complex replaced gardens to provide better accommodation for the Spanish garrison.
The structure maintains its military function and houses the Military Archive of Naples, contributing to the preservation of regional military documentation.
Located at the top of Via Monte di Dio, visitors can access the site through public transportation or by taking the lift from Piazza Santa Maria degli Angeli.
The building's location on Pizzofalcone hill marks the exact spot where the first settlement of Parthenope, the predecessor of Naples, was established in 8th century BC.
