Naples, Italy – Via Partenope e Castel dell’Ovo – Postcard Early 20Th Century
This postcard captures the scenic Via Partenope in Naples, looking out toward the iconic Castel dell’Ovo along the sparkling Bay of Naples.
Via Partenope, named after the mythical siren linked to the founding of Naples, is one of the city’s most scenic stretches, historically frequented by nobility and foreign visitors. Castel dell’Ovo (Egg Castle), the oldest standing fortification in Naples, dates to Roman times and played a key role in medieval military defense. According to legend, the Roman poet Virgil placed a magical egg in its foundations to protect the city. The site offers dramatic sea views and remains a beloved symbol of Naples’ layered past—from Greek myth to Norman conquest.
