The Egg Castle is one of the main attractions of Naples. Its history goes back to the times of ancient Rome. According to legend, Virgil buried a magical egg at this place, which keeps the well-being and prosperity of the city. Fans of all kinds of fortifications will be especially interested, and there are places for children to run. You will also enjoy a magnificent view of the Gulf of Naples. 2-3 hours for a visit is enough.
