Excursion 1 – Naples and Pompeii

Naples: dominated by the Mount Vesuvius, the only active volcano in the european continent. It is practically impossible to list all the churches and monuments that you will find, some of them are: the Cathedral dedicated to San Gennaro, the city’s patron, Castel dell’Ovo – the city’s oldest castle, the Royal Palace in the Plebiscito Square; Spaccanapoli, the street that splits the city from east to west; the Teatro San Carlo, the Museum San Martino ai Monti and the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte. The church and street of San Gregorio Armeno and the wonderful Cappella San Severo are also worth a visit. But Naples is also famous around the world for his speciality: the Pizza, that was invented here in 1889. That’s why Naples deserves a place among the tourist’s destinations in Italy. Visit Pompeii: visit the excavations of this Roman town buried under the ashes of nearby Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
