The Spires of Naples’ Historic Centre: The History of a City in Monuments
The spires of Naples are among the city's most evocative and significant monuments, bearing witness to centuries of devotion and Baroque art. These elegant, tall and slender obelisks tell stories of faith and gratitude towards the saints who protected the city. Although they are little noticed by passers-by, they represent a deep connection between Naples and the sacred. In this article, we will explore the most emblematic spires that adorn the historic centre of Naples, revealing their history and beauty.
The best beaches in Naples and the surrounding area: where to cool off in summer
Summer in Naples has a unique charm: the warm sun, the scent of the sea and the desire to escape transform the Neapolitan coastline into an ideal destination for those seeking relaxation, beauty and immersion in Mediterranean culture. But where can you escape to when the heat becomes unbearable and all you dream of is a little coolness? Here is a guide to the most beautiful beaches in Naples and its surroundings, perfect for cooling off during the summer season.
The return of Naples’ suffregna water: a recovered historical and natural heritage
In Naples, among the most deeply rooted traditions and elements that tell the story of the city's thousand-year history, there is a resource that has survived the centuries, becoming a symbol of health and well-being: suffregna water. Also known as “acqua delle mummare” or “acqua del Chiatamone”, this naturally sparkling sulphurous water flows from a spring in the heart of the Santa Lucia district. Once highly prized and widespread, suffregna water was famous for its healing properties, particularly for combating anaemia and iron deficiency. Over the years, the spring that gave rise to this precious water fell into oblivion, but an unexpected rediscovery has brought to light one of the most fascinating corners of Neapolitan history. On 11 June, the source of Suffregna water was officially rediscovered after more than fifty years of neglect.
The rebirth of the Farmacia Storica degli Incurabili: a treasure trove of science and art returned to Naples
After five years of closure, one of the most significant treasures of Naples' historical and cultural heritage reopened on 30 November 2024: the Farmacia Storica degli Incurabili, flanked by the Museo delle Arti Sanitarie. A long-awaited return that celebrates the encounter between art, science and memory, returning to the city a place that symbolises its deepest identity.
The staff of St Joseph, between miracles and popular devotion
In the heart of Naples, amidst the alleyways that tell centuries-old stories, lies a relic that has fascinated the faithful and attracted the attention of visitors for centuries: the staff of St Joseph. This object is not only a symbol of faith and tradition, but also a witness to the deep popular devotion that has always defined the soul of Neapolitan culture.
