(Naples has at least 5 castles).to the next ..there is the marble sculpture of the famous "Cristo Velato".. veiled Christ .. kept inside the chapel

of Sansevero .. (Naples has more than 450 churches at all) ... easily reachable it ..along the road of the Decumani. . (urban project carried out by the Greeks)..further on there is the famous mermaid Partenope .. the statue of the siren is located in the heart of piazza St Nazzaro .... a woman half female and half fish representing the legend of Ulysses and his sirens .. actually the siren described by the Greeks it was a mythological figure of a woman with the body and legs of a bird .. in fact in the photos the real Parthenope is represented .. a fountain located in the heart of the surrounding city .. you can see the sculpture of a bird with a woman's body where water flows from her breasts.... a few meters from the Veiled Christ you can easily reach the Cathedral of St Gennaro where the ampoule of St Gennaro is kept ... more than twice a year the miracle of St Gennaro is expected ..
