Castel dell'Ovo (Castle of the Egg) sits on the Megaride islet at Santa Lucia, Naples' most ancient site. Legend says Virgil hid a magical egg in the foundations—if it breaks, Naples will fall.
Built on the site of the original Greek colony Parthenope (c. 680 BC). The current Norman-Aragonese castle dates from the 12th century.
