Once
walked on the bridge that links via Caracciolo
with the island, you get in the castle, through
the main entrance. You immediately feel you have
just passed not through a phisical edge; on the
contrary, you feel you havew just passed through
a time edge: outside the chaos of the city, inside
the past.
The visitor, once in the castle, can walk easily
and see interesting places: the main towerla;
the monks cells excavated in the rock; the room
where the refettorio dei cenobiti was, (here there
are five lines of columns from Lucullo house;
the tower called Normandy and a round tower; the
ruins of Saint Salvatore church.
You can admire a wonderful view from the last
terrace: on one side the city in different tones,
on another side the sea and the Vesuvium on the
horizon.
The Borgo Marinaro is worth visiting; it offers
the touristic port activity and some very famous
restaurants, as "Zi' Teresa" and "La
Bersagliera"; during the summer some tiny
taverns are opened: here you can enjoy the fresh
air near the sea without expend much money, you
will taste very good plates of the Neapolitan
cooking.
