Take a tour of Castel Nuovo in Naples, Italy – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Naples, Italy: a town known mostly for its delicious food and lovely coastal location. Add to that list the Castel Nuovo, a perfect example of a storybook medieval castle. It has a moat, round towers, pennants, and a bridge; anything you could ask for. This splendid castle was originally built in 1282 and has been redone several times since. Castel Nuovo has seen it all: sieges, sackings, artillery, conspiracies, kings, popes, and barons. One of the most famous features of the castle is the triumphal arch on the main gate. In addition to the attraction of Castel Nuovo, many festivals take place here.
