The Castle Nuovo is one of the most famous castles in Naples Italy and located right in the centre of the city opposite City Hall. Of course, the city hall didn\u2019t exist when it was constructed way back in 1282, but the structure you see today was built in 1479. The locals also call it Maschio Angioino after Charles I of Anjou who ordered it to be made after taking over the throne of Sicily and shifting the capital city from Palermo to Sicily. The castle itself is built in an irregular trapezoidal shape and has four towers and an imposing white-marble Triumphal Arch at the entrance.<\/p>\n

What to see: <\/strong> The Hall of Barons is the largest hall in the castle and was named after a sinister incident that almost seems like a plot from Games of Thrones! In 1487, the king Ferdinand I of Naples invited the regions Barons under the pretext of celebrating his nephew\u2019s death. But instead, he arrested them and ordered them to death! The other interesting places are the Armoury Hall, the Palatine Chapel and the basement section which includes Pit of the Crocodile and the Prison of the Barons.
