From the city that lies under Vesuvius to the one that bathes in the blue sea of ​​the gulf. The belvedere of San Martino takes your breath away.

You looks it like a photograph, it's beautiful at any time of the day, from the first light of sunrise, passing through the sunset, up to the lights of the city in the evening.

You can see every corner of Naples, from all its alleys to historical places such as the mammoth Santa Chiara or the Duomo, but also that huge cut that is Spaccanapoli in its entirety, which cuts the ancient city and at the same time that combines it ideally, you see it where it is born and where it vanishes.

The viewpoint of San Martino is also surrounded by two historical pieces of the city: in fact we are close to the homonymous Certosa di San Martino and Castel Sant'Elmo, one of the oldest strongholds in Europe.
