Royal Palace of Naples

"Once the royal palace of the Bourbon monarchy, the building now houses the library and a museum of Baroque costumes and furniture. The palace complex also houses the archives, so it is a place for tourists and scholars. Piazza del Plebiscito Surrounded on one side by the Naples royal palace and on the other by the church of San Francesco di Paola, the Piazza del Plebiscito sits at the heart of Naples and is the epitome of faded grandeur. This piazza is named for the plebiscite that joined the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Italian State in 1860 and is filled with history. The church, commissioned in 1817 and designed as an homage to the Parthenon in Rome, is the scene's star. Like the nearby Gran Caffè Gambrinus, the Piazza del Plebiscito is a place to see and be seen in Naples. Its expanse is often used for temporary public art and performances, but even when not employed as an exhibition space, this piazza is a work of art. Stroll the pedestrian streets, marvel at the impressive buildings, and admire the two imposing statues in front of the church, portraying Ferdinand I of Bourbon and Charles III of Bourbon on horseback. In the evening, the passeggiata from the nearby Lungomare spills into the piazza. Teenagers, in particular, congregate here, and street vendors selling jewelry, selfie sticks, and cell phone cases will wander through the crowds. "
