Nature in Naples

Naples sits on the Tyrrhenian coast, shaped by the Gulf of Naples and the ever-present Vesuvius, whose eruptions buried the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and preserved them beneath layers of ash and lava. Along the shoreline, Castel dell'Ovo rises directly from the sea, while Castel Nuovo and the Aragonese Castle anchor the city's coastal profile. Further inland, the Calore Irpino winds through a hilly landscape where the Abbazia della Santissima Trinità and Castello di Montesarchio sit quietly amid the natural surroundings of the Campanian countryside.
