About Centro Storico / Spaccanapoli

The Centro Storico is Naples distilled: the ruler-straight Spaccanapoli slicing the old city, the nativity-craft workshops of San Gregorio Armeno, Sansevero's astonishing Veiled Christ, and the original pizzerie of Via dei Tribunali. The Greco-Roman street grid below is UNESCO-listed and the energy above is relentless. It offers the city's most affordable entry and its highest rental yields, drawing students, tourists and investors. Buyers must price in renovation needs and the area's variable, eyes-open safety, especially toward the station and late at night, but few places in Europe offer this density of living history.
