Architecture in Naples

Naples in Campania holds layers of architectural history spanning thousands of years. The ancient sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, together with the Anfiteatro Flavio and the Anfiteatro laterizio, offer striking examples of Roman construction. Medieval and early modern religious building is represented by the Basilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore, the Basilica di Santa Chiara, the Basilica di San Paolo Maggiore, and the Abbazia della Santissima Trinità. The neoclassical Basilica di San Francesco di Paola anchors one of the city's main squares, while Aragonese Castle and Arechi Castle reflect the region's layered military and political past.
