From the Neapo­lis found­ed by Greek set­tlers in 470 B.C. to the city of today, Naples has retained the imprint of the suc­ces­sive cul­tures that emerged in Europe and the Mediter­ranean basin. This makes it a unique site, with a wealth of out­stand­ing mon­u­ments such as the Church of San­ta Chiara and the Cas­tel Nuo­vo.
