"Castel dell'Ovo is a seafront castle in Naples, located on the former island of Megaride, now a peninsula, on the Gulf of Naples in Italy. The castle's name comes from a legend about the Roman poet Virgil, who had a reputation in the Middle Ages as a great sorcerer and predictor of the future. It's been temporarily closed to enter, for a long time, but it's a great stop as you're walking along the Lungomare, for photos! "

"✏️ Castel dell'Ovo is located on a peninsula, with lots of restaurants surrounding it and with great views to the Gulf of Naples. The castle is one of the oldest and most imposing building in the city, so it should not be missed while in Naples.
❗ Castel dell'Ovo is closed to the public due to renovation works, but you should admire the castle and its surroundings. You can check for any updates at the link below. "
