Naples is the third-largest city of Italy after Rome and Milan and one of the most densely populated cities in Europe. First settled by Greeks in the second millennium BC, Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas in the world. In the 6th century BC, it was refounded as Neápolis. Naples' historic city centre is the largest in Europe and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Pizza was invented here but the restaurants in Naples have earned the most stars from the Michelin Guide of any Italian city. People awarded the honorary citizenship of Naples are: Sophia Loren & Diego Maradona. When Maradona arrived in Naples, they won the Italian and European titles for the first time. Maradona’s photo was hung next to Jesus in half of the homes of Naples. Naples is a real raw working city, a place with fascinating art and viewpoints, spontaneous conversations and unexpected, pleasant attitude. Naples has an enormous wealth of cultural treasures. You will find two royal palaces, three castles and ancient ruins with some of the oldest frescoes of Christianity.

Naples as many other old Italian cities are famous for their narrow streets and steep hills. Many of these cities, built centuries ago, were never constructed for the cars we build today. From our Sweet Sleep Napoli B&B we have a beautiful view on the Santa Caterina a Formiello. This church is located at the far eastern end of the old historic center of Naples. The construction of the church started around 1510 and was only completed in 1593. The church was one of the first domes in Naples and was connected to an old monastery. The church has a single-aisle Latin cross interior with five chapels on either side. The church's beautiful paintings and frescoes are well worth a visit.

Napels is na Rome en Milaan de derde stad van Italië en een van de dichtstbevolkte steden van Europa. Napels, voor het eerst bewoond door Grieken in het tweede millennium voor Christus. Het historische stadscentrum van Napels is het grootste van Europa en staat op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. De pizza is uitgevonden in Napels, maar de restaurants in Napels hebben de meeste sterren verdiend in de Michelin-gids van elke Italiaanse stad. Mensen die het ereburgerschap van Napels hebben toegekend zijn: Sophia Loren & Diego Maradona. Toen Maradona in Napels aankwam, wonnen ze voor het eerst de Italiaanse en Europese titels. De foto van Maradona hing naast Jezus in de helft van de huizen in Napels. Napels is een echte rauwe werkstad, een plek met fascinerende kunst en uitzichtpunten, spontane gesprekken en onverwachte, prettige instelling. Napels zoals vele andere oude Italiaanse steden staan bekend om hun smalle straatjes en steile heuvels. Veel van deze steden, eeuwen geleden gebouwd, zijn nooit gebouwd voor de auto's die we vandaag bouwen. Vanaf het dak van ons Sweet Sleep Napoli B&B hebben we een mooi uitzicht over Napels. Santa Caterina a Formiello is een kerk gelegen aan het uiterste oostelijke uiteinde van het oude historische centrum van Napels. De bouw van de kerk begon rond 1510 en werd pas voltooid in 1593. De kerk was één van de eerste koepels in Napels en was verbonden met een oud klooster. De kerk heeft een Latijns gangwerk met aan weerszijden vijf kapellen. De kerk het prachtige schilderderingen en fresco's en is zeker een bezoekje waard.
