Walking in the sky of Naples: an old Neapolitan idea

The European Union has been pivotal in this by funding the projects for the historic centre of Naples, especially this one. The idea was already designed in late ‘60s, but today it has finally become a reality.

The City of Naples strongly supported this opening, which stems from a five-year agreement with the Archdiocese, the owner of the complex, to define how the panoramic route would be organized and managed safely and in full respect of the monument.

To make access to the Cathedral rooftop truly special for Neapolitans, around 10% of the daily spots are reserved free of charge for the local community, allowing those who live in the city to enjoy this unique experience more easily and comfortably.

All other visitors can enter with a ticket, designed solely to cover the costs of managing the route and the facilities.
