Perched on a hilltop, Saint Elmo’s Castle (Castel Sant’Elmo) stands as a striking architectural relic that commands panoramic views of Naples. Visitors can reach the castle by hiking up the hillside or taking the funicular. The ramparts and an on-site chapel are among the main highlights. On a clear day, the expansive vistas across the Bay of Naples reveal the city’s beauty in full detail.
