Castel dell’Ovo, or in English, Egg Castle, is a castle, found on the peninsula of Megaride, on the Gulf of Naples. Its name comes from a legend about the Roman poet Virgil, who had a reputation in the Middle Ages as a great sorcerer and predictor of the future. In the legend, Virgil put a magical egg into the castle’s foundations to support the fortifications. Had this egg been broken, the castle would have been destroyed, followed by disastrous events for the city. It is the oldest standing fortification in Naples.

His plans included converting a Franciscan convent into Castel Nuovo, still standing in Plaza Municipio.
