The traditional city: boroughs of Vergini and Sanità, Cemetery of Fontanelle and Murales in Materdei

We will visit “i Vergini” and “la Sanità”, two amongst the most characteristic boroughs of the city, by departing from the old city gate: Porta San Gennaro. After leaving via Foria and piazza Cavour behind us, we will find ourselves in the liveliest and most typical heart of Naples, where we will admire the extraordinary architecture of the Palazzo dello Spagnolo and of Palazzo Sanfelice. We will enter the Sanità district to visit the Santa Maria della Sanità church and the San Gaudioso catacombs. We will first reach the suggestive Cimitero delle fontanelle (literally: cemetery of fountains) and then move into the Materdei district, where we will admire the graffiti of the social centre “EX-OPG”, located in Salita San Raffaele on via Imbriani. If you wish, we will organise a fixed-price lunch or dinner in a traditional pizzeria in the area.
