If you're passionate about history and you're in the capital of Campania, don't hesitate to book your tickets to Castel Nuovo. You'll explore this ancient medieval fort, which houses the Civic Museum, with an audio guide in English.
Located next to the port of Naples, the Castel Nuovo, also known as the Maschio Angioino, is one of the must-see landmarks in the capital of Campania.
With this ticket to Castel Nuovo, you'll explore the interior of this ancient medieval fortress at your own pace, following the commentary of an audio guide in English. Through the narration provided by the audio guide, you'll learn about the history of this stronghold, which was commissioned by King Charles I of Anjou in the mid-13th century.
You'll also discover the main rooms of Castel Nuovo and the most famous works of art inside.
Your ticket with an audio guide in English allows access to the following spaces in Naples' Castel Nuovo:
This room, known as the Sala dei Baroni, is one of the castle's most spectacular spaces. The name of this room refers to the conspiracy of 1487, when King Ferdinand I of Naples invited the rebellious barons to a party so he could arrest them right there. The most spectacular feature of this room is the incredible Gothic vault shaped like an octagonal star, designed by the Mallorcan architect Guillem Sagrera.
The so-called Cappella Palatina is the only surviving part of the original 14th-century Angevin structure. Although most of its frescoes were lost, some fragments of artworks by Giotto can still be seen. It also houses notable sculptures from the Neapolitan Renaissance, such as Francesco Laurana’s Madonna and Child.
Spread across several floors of the castle's west wing, the Civic Museum offers a chronological journey through the city's art:
Castel Nuovo opens Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 5:30 pm.
Children under 2 can enter the castle for free without booking a ticket.
