Climb to the top of the Vomero hill to visit the Castel Sant’Elmo. This castle, formerly known as Belforte or Paturcium, is located on the hill of Vomero in Naples. Built in 1329, it was initially a fortified royal residence. However, an earthquake caused a part of the castle to collapse and when the Spaniards decided to rebuild it San Telmo, named after a Spanish Dominican saint, they transformed it into a military fortress. It later became a prison until 1952. Today, the Castel Sant’Elmo in Naples is an Italian cultural heritage site open to the public. Do not miss visiting it during your corporate trip to Naples if you are interested in the history and culture of Naples.

Visit Pompeii, a huge, impressive site: An invaluable testimony of daily life in antiquity. Everyone knows the story of Pompeii. This 66 ha city with flourishing trade housed about 25,000 inhabitants when it was buried under the ashes of Vesuvius in 79 AD. A layer of ash preserved this exceptional Roman city intact. Today, many visitors go to the ruins of Pompeii to discover: temples, streets, theaters, houses, baths… Also, do not miss the ruins of Herculaneum. Due to its proximity to Vesuvius, Herculaneum was covered with mud and lava, unlike Pompeii, which was buried under ash. The atmosphere that emanates from this site is both intimate and enigmatic.
