The four cylindrical towers on the city wall and the surrounding moat are the style of a typical French castle. The castle now houses a small museum with a collection of oil paintings depicting the history of Naples. At the entrance of the castle, there is a triumphal arch commemorating Afonso I's entry into the city. It was built in 1467 and is engraved with reliefs praising his family. It is known as a masterpiece of the transition from Gothic to Renaissance. The interior of the castle now includes the Civic Museum and the remains of the castle.
