Castel Nuovo - Maschio Angioino is a medieval castle near the sea with iconic architecture. Many visitors claim the outside view is the most impressive, so be sure to stop for photos. Once inside, you can find a 15th-century bronze door with a cannonball embedded in it, historical artwork, and other antiquities. Also look for the glass-floored room that looks down into the catacombs, which house some unearthed skeletons.

  • We visited the castle with a guide for the full price of 16 euros. You must make a reservation online before your visit. The place was nice and interesting. The full pass gives you access to the top terrace of the castle from where you can see the whole city of Napoli. The museum was also interesting
  • Don't bother. Even when there is no line you have to buy a ticket online! No tickets at the entrance. 6€ self walk only gets you into what used to be the Kings Room. €16 is a guided tour in under 40 mins. This place is run down and not looked after. The Kings room is now used by their local government as a working office. They don't respect the history here, everything is covered in rubbish, scaffolding or power points and cables.
  • Incredible castle with a nice view on Naples The guide was so nice, interesting and fried friendly. The guide allow how to go down in the cell. Surely unavoidable while going to Naples. A audio guide or Qr code with app that allow us to get some explanation on the painting in the museum. The reservation system that can be tricky: you need to actually book a time slot before you got the entrance ticket.
  • The castle from the middle ages, with a beautiful architecture design. There is a glass covered section on the ground floor where you can see some human skeletons. Don't forget to visit the museum for a variety of good examples of art. And of course, enjoy the great view of Mount Vezuvio.
  • The first truly spectacular castle that I have had the pleasure of seeing. It's super easy to walk to from your ship if you are arriving in Port. Tickets are required for a tour, but they will let you walk part of the way to see the inner courtyard for free.
