A lesser-known fact about Naples

Naples' 'Egg Castle' is named for a magic egg the poet Virgil supposedly hid in its foundations — if it ever breaks, legend says, the city falls.

'O Munaciello

Every old Neapolitan house knows the Munaciello, the little monk — a spirit in a hooded habit who slips through walls from the ancient aqueducts. Cross him and coins vanish, plates fly; treat him kindly and money appears in your coat. Neapolitans who find unexpected luck still say the little monk has visited.

The local landmark

Castel dell'Ovo, Naples stands as Naples's defining structure — the sight that anchors the city in memory long after the meal is finished.
