Maschio Angioino


Maschio Angioino, the Vesuvius volcano and the gulf of Naples, Italy.
Castel Nuovo, better known by the name of Maschio Angioino, is a medieval and renaissance castle built on the wishes of Charles I of Anjou in 1266, after defeating the Swabians, having ascended the throne of Sicily and having moved the capital from Palermo to Naples.
From the thirteenth century the imposing Maschio Angioino, with its large five cylindrical towers, represents one of the symbols of the city of Naples, thanks to its strategic position in Piazza Municipio, in the Porto area.
