Photos of Ovo Castle

The egg castle has a history of more than 2,000 years and is a very old castle in Naples. It used to be a gorgeous villa built by the Roman noble Lucules. The view of the promontory where the egg castle is located is very good. Climbing the castle, leaning against the window, you can enjoy the beautiful Bay of Naples and the spectacular sunset on the sea in the distance. Regarding the origin of the name of Egg Castle, it is still very dramatic. It is said that in the 6th century BC, an egg was placed in the castle by a wizard. If the egg breaks, the castle will disappear and bring disaster to Naples, so according to legend, the egg is still buried under the castle. .
