July 15, 2017: Naples from Above

 

Sometimes it takes a tower to see the whole picture, but Naples sprawls at the base of its hills and mountains, and the terrace at the Certosa e Museo San Martino was enough to give me a broad choice of angles, including the view above showing the busy traffic in the bay.

This view focuses on the historic center, with the green-roofed and immense church of Santa Chiara; our B&B was just behind it, but we didn't take the loooong stairway back down!

A newer area of the center city is in the view above; in the views below, the old fort called, ironically, Castel Nuovo, or new fort, is now a museum and gallery. Below that, the late 19th-century Crystal-Palace-like Galleria Umberto I.

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
