The Castel Nuovo is a historic medieval and Renaissance castle and one of the symbols of the city of Naples.
Known also with the name \u201cMaschio Angioino\u201d.<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”\u201cThe Castel Nuovo\u201d accessible tour is a half-guided tour of one of the symbols of the city of \u201cNaples\u201d.

Because of its strategic position, the new castle not only had the characteristics of a royal residence, but also those of a fortress….” open_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_color=”#0C71C3″ open_icon_color=”#0C71C3″ admin_label=”Testo descrittivo del tour ad apertura” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”20px” title_line_height=”1.3em” closed_title_font=”|600|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_text_align=”justify” body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.4em” text_orientation=”justified” closed_title_font_size_tablet=”” closed_title_font_size_phone=”17px” closed_title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_font_size_tablet=”” body_font_size_phone=”16px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

From the beginning it was called \u201cCastrum Novum<\/strong>\u201d to distinguish it from the older castles of Ovo and Capuano.
During the reign of \u201cRobert of Anjou\u201d, the castle became a cultural center where artists, doctors and men of letters stayed, including \u201cGiotto, Petrarch and Boccaccio<\/strong>\u201d. The Angevins were succeeded by the Aragonese with Alfonso I, who, following the choice of his predecessors, established his royal residence in \u201cNew Castle\u201d, starting work on its reconstruction and having the grandiose Triumphal Arch built outside, between the \u201cTorre di Mezzo and the Torre di Guardia\u201d, to celebrate his victorious entry into the city of \u201cNaples\u201d.
\u201cThe Aragonese\u201d saw the transition from the medieval castle-palace to the modern fortress, adapted to the new requirements of warfare, and the area around the castle lost the residential character it had under \u201cthe Angevins<\/strong>\u201d. The structure of the Aragonese building is undoubtedly more massive than that of the \u201cAngevins\u201d and fairly closely reflects the current one, resulting from the restoration work carried out in the early years of this century.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Castel Nuovo<\/strong>\u201d was intended as a residence and plays an important role due to its strategic location between the center and the port. The castle also was attended by personalities such as \u201cPope Celestine V\u201d and \u201cPope Boniface VIII, Petrarch and Boccaccio\u201d. During the \u201cAragonese\u201d period, however, the Angevin was restored and modified with a commission by \u201cAlfonso of Aragon<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

The structure acquired in this way a typically \u201cCatalan Gothic\u201d character. During the Bourbon period the royal residence became the new royal palace and, subsequently, in the late eighteenth century \u201cThe Angevin Castle\u201d was sacked. During the nineteenth century, restoration was undertaken, and the building is currently owned by the municipality. The castle is trapezoidal with stately, with towers set on the corners.<\/p>\n

The main fa\u00e7ade has three towers named the Guard, Middle and St. George. In the space between the two towers there is an imposing marble arch the constitutes the entrance. The arch was designed in the mid-fifteenth century by Francesco Laurana and other leading artists to commemorate Alfonso of Aragon. The structure consists of two overlapping arches framed by columns and adorned with numerous sculptures and relief decorations.
At the peak there is a cornice. Inside the building there is a courtyard dated fifteenth century. Part of the castle also include Beverello Tower, the \u201cHall of the Barons\u201d and \u201cthe Palatine Chapel\u201d, frescoes by \u201cGiotto\u201d in the fourteenth century. Today inside there is the \u201cMuseo Civico\u201d of the city.<\/p>\n
