July 8 Naples

 We haven't been to Naples in quite some time, so it's off the ship to walk through the city.

Right where we're docked is the New Castle, New being a relative term. It was first erected in 1279. 
Palazzo San Giacoma
Galleria Umberto I, a public shopping gallery.
Piazza del Plebiscito  in front of the Basilica di San Francesco di Paola
Opposite the prior picture is the Royal Palace, also facing onto the Piazza del Plebiscito
One of the statues in the front of the Royal Palace
Via Chiaia, a shopping street
A side street
Educational opportunity. I wonder if this covers the marketing of influencers?
Entrance to the metro. It's a long way down.

Monumento ai Martiri Napoletani
Napoli Lungomare -- the Naples Promenade
The Egg Castle. Not named for its shape but rather for a mythological egg embedded into its foundation during construction.
I wait for the construction worker to clear my photo of the Fountain of the Giant when it became clear that taking his picture was the fastest way to get the shot.
