Naples - The City of Extremes, Italy (113/418)

From the Neapolis founded by Greek settlers in 470 B.C. to the city of today, Naples has received and retains the stamp of the cultures that emerged one after the other in the Mediterranean Basin and in Europe. These layers of influence and its continuing role in history have made the site unique, containing such remarkable monuments as the Santa Chiara Church and the Castel Nuovo, to name but two.
