How many times have you happened to see a spectacular photo of Naples On Instagram without knowing where it was taken? That's because the capital city of Naples has to offer many enchanting locations and corners to capture! Here then are what are the 5 Instagrammable places Not to be missed in Naples!
Palace of the Spaniard
The building is a charming monumental palace in the Neapolitan Baroque style that you can encounter in the picturesque and Sanità District. It was built in 1738 and you will recognize it by its imposing falcon-winged staircase. During the years of the Bourbon reign, the sovereign Charles III used to go to the Palace of the Spagnuolo to change the horses for oxen that could carry it up the Capodimonte climb. At the end of the 18th century the structure was purchased by a Spanish nobleman, hence the nickname "of the Spaniard."
The 13 descents of St. Anthony at Posillipo
The 13 descents of Sant'Antonio in Posillipo are one of the most enchanting places in Naples and sure to be Instagrammable! Today they connect Sannazzaro Square and the church of Piedigrotta with the church of St. Anthony in Posillipo, and once you reach the top you can enjoy a fantastic view of the entire Bay of Naples. These ramps narrow and U-bends were desired by Viceroy Ramiro de Guzman, Duke of Medina, to facilitate pilgrims who needed to get to the shrine.

Maradona murals
One of the symbols of the city of Naples is certainly the mural dedicated to Diego Armando Maradona that can be found in Emanuele de Deo Street in the Spanish Quarter. This small work of art was painted in 1990 on the facade of a six-story building after Napoli won its second Scudetto. The author was Mario Filardi, a young artist from the area. Ruined by the weather, the mural was restored in 2016, and in 2017 an Argentine street artist redrew Maradona's face.
Villa Volpicelli
Villa Volpicelli is located in the area of Riva Fiorita at Posillipo and do not know exactly when it was built. However, there are historical records of its existence as early as the 17th century. Today, Villa Volpicelli is one of the most fascinating historic villas in the city and looks like a monumental palace a stone's throw from the sea at Posillipo. For years it has also been known as the famous Palazzo Palladini that we admire in the soap opera Un posto al sole.
The Alley of Writing
Equally Instagrammable is the Alley of Writings that you will find in Vico Santa Maria delle Grazie in Toledo, just in the vicinity of Via Toledo. For a long time the narrow street was decorated with heart-shaped posters on which phrases from romantic poems, songs and movies were printed. In recent years, however, there are no longer all the installations of yesteryear, but it is still one of the most photographed corners of Naples.
