A curated journey through the experience
Spaccanapoli
The lower decumanus, which takes the official names of via Benedetto Croce and via Forcella in the central area, but is commonly called Spaccanapoli, is a road artery in the ancient center of Naples and is one of the most important streets in the city.
15 minutesVia San Gregorio Armeno
Via San Gregorio Armeno is a street in the historic center of Naples, famous for tourism for the artisan shops of nativity scenes. Today via San Gregorio Armeno is known all over the world as the exhibition center of the craft shops located here that now all year round make figurines for nativity scenes, both canonical and original (usually every year the most eccentric artisans make figurines with the features of characters of stringent topicality that perhaps stood out positively or negatively during the year).
15 minutesBasilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore

15 minutesVia dei Tribunali
Precisely because it is a road structure originating from ancient Greece, it would be more appropriate to speak of plateia and not of "decumanus", a name from the Roman era which by convention replaced the original.
15 minutesCampanile della Pietrasanta
It is the bell tower of the Pietrasanta church in Naples1, to which it belongs as the only remnant of the primitive version, from which it remains isolated with a facade open to via Tribunali and yet another on via del Giudice.
