In partnership with Tourist in Naples
Are you ready to have a walk in one of the most antique streets of Naples, that dates back to the time of the Greeks (VIII century), which splits the city in two parts (Nord and South) as if it was a cut?
Spaccanapoli (literally spacca=break/split; Napoli=Naples, that is break Naples; split in two parts) is a street that was named by the Romans Decumano inferiore. It was designed by the Greeks, therefore a really antique street, that nowadays can be defined as one of the most lively streets of the city.
You will undestrand its name if you obseve it from the top, Spaccanapoli, as a matter of facts, from “Piazzale san Martino” seems like a real cut that splits the city in two parts.
