Naples

NAPLES - LUXURY PROPERTY FOR SALE IN CAMPANIA

The city of Parthenope was founded by the Cumans in the 8th century BC in honor of the siren Παρθενόπη. At the end of the 6th century, the Cuman nobles decided to re-establish the city which was then called Neapolis (Νεάπολις), or "new city". The Roman conquest in no way altered Naples which retained the Greek institutions and was therefore often referred to as "the metropolis of Western Hellenism". Conquered by the Byzantines in the context of the Gothic War, the city remained an autonomous duchy even after the Lombard invasion and survived until 1139 when the city was ultimately conquered by the Normans and the duchy dismantled. The city then passed from hand to hand, eventually ending up in the hands of the Bourbons of Spain who ruled the city until the unification of Italy in the 19th century.
The city has an artistic and architectural heritage among the richest in Italy, with churches, palaces and squares from all historical periods. Particularly worthy of mention are Castel dell'Ovo, the Maschio Angioino, the Fontana del Gigante, the Obelisk of the Immaculate and the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola in Piazza del Plebiscito.

In this unique city and its province, dotted with noble palaces and mansions, Romolini Immobiliare offers a fine selection of prestigious properties, farmhouses, estates, farms and exclusive villas for sale.
