Walking on via dei Tribunali you will reach the Agora’ – named Forum in Roman Times – the main square, even known as the melting pot of the different aspects of the roman life – from the private to the religious ones.

You will surely love the story of the façade, and the mistery of the black diamond shaped stones.
Your guide will stop to allow you to have a break and offer you a sfogliatella, the queen of the Neapolitan pastries - ideal with coffee or cappuccino for breakfast!
You will finally move ahead towards Piazza Municipio, where you will see the Maschio Angioino (New Castle), symbol of the French domination and of Naples capital of the newborn kingdom of "Naples and the Two Sicilies". Your tour will end in piazza del Plebiscito – from where you can enjoy a lovely walk on the seaside, passing by the famous "pallonetto di Santa Lucia", the bridge that offers you a lovely view of the city.
