Castel Nuovo

Remains of the towns that stood first before Angevin castle have indeed been discovered in the area formerly identified as the Armoury Hall.A pool or spa from a suburban villa built in the second half of the 5th century AD may be found next to the entrance. It is partially lined with white marble tiles to which the Angevin frames are attached. An expansive apse with five semicircular niches makes up the earliest portion of the east side from the early republican period (end of the first century BC).

The prisons are also known as the Crocodile Legend. There are two areas below the Palatine Chapel in the basement; one is termed the "mile pit" but is also referred to as the "crocodile pit," and the other is known as the "house of the Barons' plot."

The 14th-century Palatine Chapel, also known as the Chapel of Santa Barbara, which leads onto the 15th-century courtyard, is where the journey of the Castel Nuovo begins.After numerous modifications throughout the years, including the 18th-century Baroque restoration, the chamber has been returned to the standards of Gothic architecture.

This chapel, which was likely identical to the Chapel of San Martino di Tours from the fourteenth century and was previously frescoed with tales from the saint's life, was constructed somewhere between 1580 and 1581 when the renovations requested by the Spanish viceroys were being made.

Visitors enter the tiny church from the Charles V Hall, where San Francesco di Paola was hosted in 1481 while traveling to Paris. Guillén Sagrera originally created a vaulted dome in the fourth century that was comparable to the one in Barons' Hall, but it was damaged following World War II. The statuary marble over the door attests to the chapel's baroque restoration and consecration on April 3, 1688.

This door, which was formerly at the castle's entrance, was gifted to Guglielmo Monaco by Ferrante d'Aragona in honor of Ferrante's victory with Giovanni of Anjou and the rebel lords in 1462, somewhere before 1475.

The works of art, statues, and sacred decorations on display on the first floor were mostly commissioned by clergy and date from the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. They are mostly from churches and closed institutions, including the Real Casa Santa dell'Annunziata and the "Sant'Eligio" Institute for Instruction and Assistance to Women.

On the second story of the WatchTower at the Castel Nuovo Napoli, there is a bustling study area with independent access from the museum entrance. In addition to the outstanding bookshelf of the "Ettore e Mura'' library, this space also features an office for educational activities and a facility and informational office.
