As Neapolitan born and bred, this is an untold story that is handed down from generations. The area earned its name from the Spanish garrison troops who were stationed here in the 16th century during Spanish rule. Close to the Royal Palace, it provided ideal positioning for the foreign troops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Spanish departed, the Neighbourhood evolved into a humble quarter inhabited by fishermen, craftsmen and the working class. Today, it remains a close-knit community where kids play football in the piazzas and neighbours trade gossip from their balconies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-quarter-spagnoli-safe\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Is Quarter Spagnoli safe?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. <strong>The Spanish Quarter of Naples is safe<\/strong>. Even though the Neighbourhood has often been relegated as one of the unsafe areas of the city, it is a thing of the past. In recent years there has been a huge requalification of the entire Quarter, making it one of the most touristy. Think about the Square where the murals of Maradona, which once was a parking spot, and today is a thriving market with shops, bars and popups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-it-worth-visiting-the-spanish-quarter-in-naples\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Is it worth visiting the Spanish Quarter in Naples?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yes. The Spanish Quarter of Naples keeps the essence of the city. <\/strong>For a neighbourhood that started as a military camp, the Quartieri Spagnoli today feels more like a village within the city. People in Naples, including us, believe that the gain in popularity of the city starts from this borough. The incredible artistic value of <strong>Naples Spanish Quarter<\/strong> is undeniably unique and worth a few hours walking around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-Spanish-Quarter-Photos-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Naples Spanish Quarter Photos\" class=\"wp-image-30747\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-Spanish-Quarter-Photos-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-Spanish-Quarter-Photos-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-Spanish-Quarter-Photos-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-Spanish-Quarter-Photos-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-Spanish-Quarter-Photos.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-naples-spanish-quarter\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>How to get to Naples\u2019 Spanish Quarter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In Short: Get to the Spanish Quarter by Metro and get out at Montesanto, Toledo or Piazza Dante.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naples\u2019 Spanish Quarter is in the very centre of Naples, and the best things to do are at the centre of 4 metro stations.

and it still is, over 30 years apart. He was an idol for me as a youngster growing up in Naples, and like many of my generation built shrines in his honour. The most famous mural of Maradona in the world is in Naples, in the<strong> Spanish Quarter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might not be the most beautiful, but it\u2019s definitely the most significant mural of Maradona. Everything in Naples reminds you of the greatest football player of all time. The area of the Spanish Quarter for Diego it\u2019s at Via Emanuele De Deo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Largo Diego Armando Maradona is a proper worship square, with all the team shirts worn by the players, scarves, flags and a proper shrine with its photo. Diego was often in this area of Naples during the golden age of the football team. The local inhabitants give that as tribute, over just the Stadium Name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about the period of Maradona in Naples, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/naples-l162\/tour-of-napoli-to-celebrate-the-heroes-t446431\/?partner_id=BHUG4LD&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=ITA-NaplesSpanishQuarter&amp;mkt_cmp=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color: var(--global-palette4, #2D3748);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, #ffe1d6 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Book this tour in Diego&#8217;s footsteps in Naples<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stunning-basoletti-murales-in-largo-maradona\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Stunning Basoletti Murales in Largo Maradona<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the renewed interest in this area of the Spanish Quarter, another incredible mural is getting attention. The \u201cLa Pudicizia\u201d of Basoletti, a renewed street artist, is gaining attention, even though still overshadowed by Maradona Murales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been to Sansevero Chapel, where the veiled Christ, you might have seen the subject of the murals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"palazzo-cattaneo-barberini\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Palazzo Cattaneo-Barberini<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love photography, you must explore some of the best buildings within the Quarter.

The courtyard is a well-maintained piece of architecture. However, it\u2019s private and, for this reason, often close to visitors. To get to the Palazzo Cattaneo Barberini, you should point your phone to Via San Mattia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-streets-with-Maradona-mural-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Naples streets with Maradona mural\" class=\"wp-image-30749\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-streets-with-Maradona-mural-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-streets-with-Maradona-mural-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-streets-with-Maradona-mural-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-streets-with-Maradona-mural-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Naples-streets-with-Maradona-mural.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"walk-through-the-narrow-street-and-discover-the-bassi\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Walk through the narrow street and discover the \u201cBassi\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A visit to the Spanish Quarter isn\u2019t only worth paying homage to Dios Mural but also a walk around the traditional streets. The area during the Spanish domination of Naples was overcrowded. It was hard to find new places to house the troops. So the rooms on the ground floor became a house and shop together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the origin of Bassi, which in Italian means \u201cLower Level\u201d. Today, those are still houses, which makes the Naples neighbourhood picturesque and picture-perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the new B&amp;B restaurants and boutique shops are formerly \u201cBassi\u201d. You can spot it easily. Check if they have only one door facing the street and, from time to time, small windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sophia-loren-mural\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Sophia Loren Mural<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We have told you that the Spanish Quarter is an iconic and unmissable part of Naples. Not only Maradona but also Sophia Loren, the actress, is capable of taking Naples around the world. Head to Bico San Liborio, where you will spot a mural of Filomena Marturano, a character played by Loren in a movie with Marcello Mastroianni by Eduardo de Filippo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-2a7d1c5\" id=\"Is-Naples-safe\" data-block-id=\"2a7d1c5\"><p class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong>READ ALSO | <a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/is-naples-safe\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"30221\">Is Naples Safe?<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"montecalvario-church\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Montecalvario church<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spanish Quarter is so vast that it once was an entire forest.

However, one of the best things to do in the Spanish Quarter for free is to discover its churches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most beautiful examples of Baroque style is in this Neighbourhood, and it\u2019s the<strong> Church of Santa Maria della Merced in Montecalvario.<\/strong> The church, erected in 1560, was extended in 1677 and is among the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/what-do-naples-italy-2-days\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4370\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-27309, #cce5ea) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">best religious sites in Naples.<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The church features a Greek cross construction, a single nave, a barrel vault, and five side chapels on each side, with the magnificent high altar displaying the Immaculate Madonna in the apse ascribed to Cosimo Fanzago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wandering-around-the-street-art-in-vicolo-della-cultura\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Wandering around the Street Art in Vicolo della Cultura<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not so far from the Spanish Quarter, there is another area of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/is-naples-worth-visiting\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"29835\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-27309, #cce5ea) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Naples worth visiting<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, Rione Sanita\u2019.

The long, narrow alley has been transformed into an outdoor gallery showcasing vibrant murals and graffiti art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creative talents like Francisco Bosoletti and Exit Enter have left their mark with colourful, thought-provoking works covering everything from music to social issues.
