The ancient port city of Naples’ rich and compelling history dates back nearly 3,000 years and bears the traces of the early Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Normans and the later European powers of Spain and France. Naples owes its artistic vitality and art of living to the proximity of Mount Vesuvius, which two thousand years ago, buried the flourishing city of Pompeii and the nearby resort town of Herculaneum. That passion for life, under the shadow of the volcano, is best expressed in the Neapolitan art and architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries. From the Normans to the Bourbons, the richness of Neapolitan history is in its art and architecture: dramatic Baroque churches, grandiose facades, elaborate staircases, sumptuous residences such as the Royal Palace of Caserta, and astonishing art collections.
