Neighborhoods in Naples

Spaccanapoli is the arrow-straight street that 'splits Naples in two' (spacca = splits), running along the ancient Greek-Roman decumanus. Walking its full length immerses you in Naples' layered history, street food, and unfiltered energy.

The Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Quarters) is Naples' most atmospheric historic neighbourhood—a dense grid of narrow, laundry-strung streets built in the 16th century as barracks for Spanish troops.

The Rione Sanità is Naples' most fascinating off-the-beaten-path neighbourhood—a valley between two hills filled with Baroque churches, catacombs, and a gritty vitality. Its community-led regeneration is a model for urban renewal.
