Why Visit the Castel Sant'Elmo?
With this ticket to the Castel Sant'Elomo, you'll be able to explore this medieval fortress located on the Vomero Hilltop at your own pace.
Built as a residence for the Angevin dynasty and originally called Belforte, it was destroyed and rebuilt various times across the centuries. It served as a military fort and prison and now houses the Novecento Museum of Naples, which holds more than 150 works by various artists.
With the help of the audio guide, you'll learn about the historical events that took place within the castle walls. You'll discover that, over the centuries, it has endured numerous sieges!
You'll also get to know its architectural features, like its distinctive six-pointed star-shaped layout
—the only of its kind. Once you reach the top, you'll also have incredible scenic views of Mount Vesuvius and the Sorrento Peninsula. Don't forget to take a photo!
As well as this, you can use an app to create a personalised postcard with your own photos. To do so, on the day of the activity, you can download an app and introduce the code you'll receive with your ticket.
