Stop At: Quartieri Spagnoli, Montecalvario Vico S.maria Delle Grazie Toledo3/c, 80134, Naples Italy

The Spanish neighborhoods arise in the historic part of the city of Naples, consisting, in turn, of the San Ferdinando, Avvocata and Montecalvario neighborhoods.
The Spanish neighborhoods characterized from an urbanistic point of view by a reticular structure, which descends from the heights dominated by Castel Sant’Elmo. We note the typical vocation of accommodation intended to accommodate the Spanish soldiers. They arise around the sixteenth century by the will of Pedro de Toledo, in order to accommodate the Spanish military garrisons, intended for the repression of any revolts of the Neapolitan population, or as a temporary home for soldiers who passed from Naples in the direction of other places of conflict.

It was commissioned by the viceroy Pedro Álvarez de Toledo in 1536 on a project by the royal architects Ferdinando Manlio and Giovanni Benincasa. The road ran along the old western walls of the Aragonese period that was made obsolete and therefore eliminated due to the defensive extensions of Don Pedro de Toledo.
