Spanish Naples: audio walks

Naples's Spanish history can be followed through neighbourhoods, decisions and people. These routes place that relationship within the city's life, beyond a familiar name. They approach government, everyday living and the memories left by a shared history with different conflicts and perspectives, keeping the Neapolitan setting central to each connection.

In “Spanish Naples”: Two centuries of Spanish Naples, told in the street: an Aragonese king's arch, a Navarrese engineer's mine, a real crocodile, the city that said no to the Inquisition, Viceroy Toledo's empty tomb, his street, Caravaggio's last painting and the Quarter he laid out for his soldiers.

In “The Square of Kings”: Opposite is the Teatro di San Carlo: it was built for Charles of Bourbon in seven months, and its builder's story doesn't end in applause.

In “Masaniello and Market Square”: And this is where it all began in July 1647: a fight over fruit, a twenty-seven-year-old fishmonger and ten days that put the viceroy on the ropes.
