heart of the Naples Historic Center, the oldest continuously inhabited
community in Western Europe: via
Pasquale Scura, via Maddaloni, via Benedetto Croce, via San Biagio dei Librai, via Vicaria Vecchia and via
Giudecca Vecchia.

The Decumano Superiore
and
Spaccanapoli comprise the urban layout of Greek era Neapolis. In the 19th century, the city’s aristocratic
families’ palazzi and religious convents led to renewed interest in the old
quarter from Piazza San Domenico Maggiore
to Piazza del Gesù Nuovo where remains of the Roman baths where found under the
Cloister of Santa Chiara.
The Renaissance
period
led to changes in the original Gothic buildings as well as a linkage with the
city’s Spanish quarter with construction of via Toledo. Palazzo Carafa di
Maddaloni is a classic example of Neapolitan Baroque. Palazzo Corigliano and its
namesake church maintained their gothic polygonal apse but were refurbished in a
gold and stucco baroque style.
