It was neat. Not a whole lot to see. If you're in the area already it's a simple castle/museum trip to add on to seeing something else.

A piece of Napoli's heritage and colourful history. Interesting place to visit if you have more time to spend - you would be able to learn more about how this city grew and developed throughout the centuries as well as what role the local barons/ lords have played in the forming of today's Italy. The ticket without a guide is 6,- and you would be able to see almost all parts of the castle - I took that option and liked it. With a guide - all rooms / parts of it.
Beautiful stop for a picture. Nor really worthy going inside. They're building the \most beautiful\ metro beside the castle... But it's one of the outdoor sculptures you must see around the city
Beautiful castle with great views. Castle has a rich history, it is worth the admiration. There are plenty of beautiful and rich rooms with beautiful paintings. The building of the Castel Nuovo, began in 1279 under the reign of Charles I of Anjou. The building left us breathless, especially triumphal doors. The strategic position of the castle gave it the characteristics of a royal residence, but also those of a fortress. During the reign of Robert of Anjou, the castle became a center of culture giving hospitality to scientists, poets, artists, doctors and writers among whom were Giotto, Petrarca and Boccaccio. Fascinating.
The castle was called New to distinguish it from those that already existed. Its construction dates from the end of the 13th century (around 1279), during the time of the Angevin domination of the city. Charles of Anjou came to settle in Naples was not satisfied by the royal residence of Capuano Castle, although embellished by Frederick II. He decided in 1266 to build a fortified palace, preferably near the sea
