Piazza del Plebiscito

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Piazza del Plebiscito – Heart of Naples Recent highlight: The 2025 Neapolis Marathon started and finished here, filling the square with over 5,000 runners and a festival atmosphere. This vast, elegant piazza is Naples’ cultural stage — hosting concerts, festivals, city anniversaries, parades, and sports events year-round. Surrounded by stunning landmarks, it perfectly blends history with modern city life. Tip: Arrive early for big events and come back at night when the lighting makes the square even more magical. A must-see for anyone visiting Naples — it’s where the city truly comes alive.

I'm an art and history enthusiast, but you must know that Naples has a lot of graffiti. However, do not let this ruin the experience. The best time to visit this location is early in the morning before the crowds set in.

A beautiful plaza just at the edge of Toledo road. Large open space with a lot of people and access to the castle. Tickets easy to acquire and even if you do t want to buy any, you can enter to the first hall and take a picture and leave.

A grand and historic square in Naples, but unfortunately it was closed due to an event during my visit. I couldn’t fully enjoy the view, though it’s clearly an impressive place when open.

Huge square with beautiful architecture and statues of important historical figures. Look Located near the galleria mall lots of respond shops nearby.

Piazza del Plebiscito, the grand stage where absolutely nothing was happening, and yet it was perfect. We didn’t get to go inside (mainly because we had no idea how and saw no one else trying either), so we just did what any self-respecting tourist does, stood in front of it, took a few photos, and pretended we’d seen it all. It’s massive, impressive, and suspiciously quiet, like Naples’ version of a royal palace that’s “on lunch break”. Still, a great spot to admire the architecture, chase pigeons, and look cultured in your holiday pictures. Five stars for style, mystery, and free entry.

One of the most iconic and majestic squares in Italy. Piazza del Plebiscito is the beating heart of Naples—spacious, grand, and surrounded by architectural treasures. With the Royal Palace on one side and the Church of San Francesco di Paola on the other, the square offers a powerful sense of history and scale. It’s a perfect place for a peaceful stroll, taking photos, or simply sitting and watching the life of the city unfold around you. Often used for concerts, public events, and cultural celebrations, it blends civic pride with everyday life. At sunset, the light on the columns and cobblestones is magical. A must-see for anyone visiting Naples—beautiful, open, and full of character. Best experienced early in the morning or during golden hour.

This is a wonderful picturesque space in the city of Naples. We were lucky enough to experience it as Napoli won Serie A and the explosion of noise of more than 100,000 supporters. Remember to look at the Palace enjoy the architecture, as you stand and look at the building turn right and walk just past it for fabulous views of the marina and cruise ships with Vesuvius as a backdrop! Glorious day or night.

One of the large open spaces and if all of Naples looked as clean as this, it would be a much nicer city. This piazza is massive and beautiful. With the Royal Palace on one side and the church of San Francesco di Paola in the center, this is a beautiful spot. Not much going on today - it's late January - but there are usually events and festivals here in the warmer months. [Review 19219 overall - 370 in Italy - 189 of 2023.]

Massive! I'm sure this entire space was much more useful over 172 years ago. I was hanging around this plaza for their La Notte della Tammorra festival. Lotsa people just gathered listening to music, having conversations, munching on pizza and birre. It's a friendly community for locals and visitors. I even had a small conversation with someone where we both were using Google Translate to communicate. It didn't halt our attempts to talk, despite our language barrier. Hospitality and humanity is an art of a person's soul. Day time and night there always seems to be people hanging around, especially on the steps. The building directly faces Palazzo Reale di Napoli. Piazza del Plebiscito is a perfect landmark to know you're a short walk away to the ocean views. Keep on gallavanting! There's more to see and live.

I came to Naples and was able to visit this Piazza as part of a combined tour with also going to Pompeii in the morning. Its a large open square, with the Naples Royal Palace on one end and a beautiful Church building, which when we were visiting in Dec 2018, was lit-up and had a revolving display of multi-color lights shining on its walls. I guess it was okay - I think coming from Rome, felt a bit more understated. Yelp 280/ 2018

A huge expansive public space that puts you in awe to the size of the building fascia the closer you get to it. A vast open sweeping pair of arms that you could imagine holding the entire commerce of the city back in ancient times, filled with vendors and craftsmen from all over selling their wares. This is one of the few plazas I found so large and in excellent shape.

We passed this on our way toward the waterfront. Nice big area to run around in. I remember when I was kid I used to love running around big spaces like this. read more about our Naples food tour on my site

Magic! One of the most beautiful squares in Napoli. From there you can walk to the seafront and enjoy its beauty.
