Sobre esta atividade
Saint Elmo Castle was built in 1329 by order of Charles of Anjou on the hill of Sant'Erasmo (now San Martino) to control the roads that lead into the city. Construction was assigned to architects Tino da Camaino, Atanasio Primario, and Francesco di Vito, and was completed in 1343. It was built where the Normans, in 1170, erected an observation tower called Belforte.
The castle, which has now been restored and houses art and history exhibitions, hosts the Molaioli Library of Art and a library of video material, which supplies information about all of the city's monuments. The complex also contains the 16th century Church of Sant'Elmo and the Chapel of Santa Maria del Pilar (17th century).

Fascinating place to visit even though there was torrential rain and a thunderstorm while we were there! Castel Sant'Elmo is an amazing historic building with a very impressive entry gate - a hexagonal medieval fortress built from volcanic tufa on the hilltop overlooking Naples not the seaside castle - Castel dell'Ovo - which I think is the one currently shown in the photo!. Some of the rooms within the castle are used as administration offices so are not open to the public but there is a restored church and an interesting art gallery in the parade quadrangle at the top and the view from the walkways and parapets would be excellent on a clear day. Well worth a visit. We enjoyed ours.
