Description of the city [script]:

I'm doing my presentation about Naples, a city in Italy I visited on a schooltrip a few years ago. We stayed for a day but I could contemplate how beautiful the city really is.

Naples is located in Italy, in the province of Campania, in the Gulf of Naples.

Now I'm going to talk about some facts about the city.
It's one of the largest municipalities in the country. Specifically 120 km2.
It was the most bombed italian during World War II, where more than 20.000 people died and the primary target was the Port of Naples.
It's one of the most catholic cities in the world, with 448 churches in it.
It has the largest historic city centre in Europe, enclosing 27 centuries of history.
Pizza was invented here in 1830.

Naples has a lot of historical buildings. The most prominent ones are the medieval, renaissence and baroque. The building in the right photo is baroque and the castle on the left is medieval. It's a pic I took of Castle Nuovo, located in the centre in front of the city hall.
There was a residence for the loyalty, but when Charles I was reigning he ordered its building in 1279 when the capital was moved to Naples. Nowadays the castle is one of the main architectural landmarks of the city and it's open to the public so tourists can visit it.

These are some more of the pics I took. This is the main square of the city, called Piazza del Plebiscito, and it's one of the first places I visited, just before going to Umberto I Gallery, which is a gallery that it is nearby and it's beautiful to see. Piazza del Plebiscito is so big and impressive in real life. Just there, it's San Francisco di Paola, a church. In front of it there's the Royal Palace. The Royal Palace it's a museum, a palace and now a historical tourist destination. It was one of the four residences of the Bourbon Kings during the kingdom of two Sicilies.

To end the presentation, this is the Bay of Naples. It's inmensely big as it takes up most of the Gulf of Naples. We can clearly see the Vesuvius from here, the famous volcano that killed so many people in Pompeii in 79 AD. The most vibrant part of the city is the one near the port.
