Piazza del Municipio
The impressive Piazza del Municipio is one of the largest squares in Europe and one of the most important in the city due to its proximity to Naples' main points of interest, such as the port, the Maschio Angioino or Via Toledo. It is also the site of the city's town hall, hence its name, Palazzo San Giacomo.
###Catacombs of San Gennaro These interesting catacombs were subway centers of early Christian burials, consecrated to Gennaro in the 5th century as a burial place for his remains, which were later transferred to the Cathedral of Naples. Until the eleventh century, the catacombs were the resting place of the remains of the bishops of Naples, although between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries they suffered significant looting.
Always have as a reference Piazza Municipio, the point where the three routes cross and you can change from one line to another.
