An exceptional area with historical buildings that can take you back to live and feel all the majesty of Italy
I liked its geometrically symmetric structure and the open place.
The two statues are also nice.

Located in downtown, but still there is chance to find parking spot. They are close in the afternoon which was strange. People were nice and welcome to travelers. In terms of traffic, it’s not comparable with other places in whole Italy, very cozy. A few minutes’ walk to Galleria Umberto and Castle Nuovo. Around is a bit unorganized but you would enjoy the whole things.
Anyway, couldn’t get in, but like the area.

The sheer size of the square, combined with its rich history, make it a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting Naples. The atmosphere here is vibrant and lively, with street performers and vendors adding to the overall experience. It's a great place to relax, people-watch, and soak up the local culture. Overall, Piazza del Plebiscito is a true gem of Naples that shouldn't be missed.Really big and nice square to just sit, relax and people watch. There are plenty of eateries and cafes close by as well if you crave a drink or a snack.
Very big and beautiful piazza, some times they have public cultural events here. Just in front of the magnificent royal palace!
An interesting place that very famous also full with chaos.
From the bus station, you will need to take a elevator to reach the palace.
People are chilling, some boys are playing football, lots of polices.
Not so clean, but I suppose this is the result of being so many tourists.

It was a nice place, especially if you like wide open places like me. Not as crowded as other tourist places, atleast in summer. Would be perfect to come with friends on the evening with a small speaker (make sure not to disturb others) and chill with some beers.
Also I'm not talking about inside i haven't been inside.

This place is a masterpiece but it’s kinda dirty outside.I was heartbroken when I saw that. It’s a place needs to be cleaned every week at lest in my opinion.
Inside of cathedral is another world. Everything inside has a deferent value and beauty.
I really hope that people who responsible for this place clean that place.

Named after the plebiscite taken on October 21, 1860, that brought Naples into the unified Kingdom of Italy under the House of Savoy,[citation needed] the piazza is very close to the gulf of Naples and bounded by the Royal Palace (east) and the church of San Francesco di Paola (west) with its hallmark twin colonnades extending to each side. Other noted adjacent buildings include the Palazzo Salerno and, its mirror, the Prefecture Palace (on the left arm of the church).
In the first years of the 19th century, the King of Naples, Murat (Napoleon's brother-in-law), planned the square and building as a tribute to the emperor. Soon after Napoleon was finally dispatched to St Helena, the Bourbons were restored to the throne, and Ferdinand I continued the construction but converted the finished product into the church one sees today. He dedicated it to Saint Francis of Paola, who had stayed in a monastery on this site in the 15th century. The church is reminiscent of the Pantheon in Rome. The façade is fronted by a portico resting on six columns and two Ionic pillars. Inside, the church is circular with two side chapels. The dome is 53 metres high.

A classic huge plaza in the heart if Napoli, it has a great history to it. It’s the biggest square in Naples with its size of 25 000 m². It gots filled up really fast, if there is an event around. Makes this a special and lively piazza. As the sea is very close by, you can feel the sea breeze and fresh air. Well worth to visit and to take nice pictures on the square and around as well.
