Naples Spanish Quarter Street Art & Maradona Mural Walking Tour

Start near Via Toledo
and head up into the Spanish Quarter

Meet near Via Toledo, one of Naples' main streets, and walk up into the Spanish Quarter. Built in the 16th century under the Spanish viceroy Don Pedro de Toledo, the area has always been a center of the city's popular culture. Your guide explains the neighborhood's history and atmosphere.

Meet Naples' icons through some 200 murals

Seek out the roughly 200 murals that define the Spanish Quarter, from works created for a project by the street-art duo Cyop&Kaf, closely tied to the Neapolitan scene, to pieces in bright, distinctive colors. See murals of Neapolitan cultural icons such as Totò, Luciano De Crescenzo, Eduardo De Filippo and Eleonora Pimentel Fonseca, as well as the "Veiled Isis", reminiscent of the sculpture in the Sansevero Chapel.

Hear about Naples football at the great Maradona mural

See the large mural dedicated to Maradona to celebrate the 1990 championship, along with small murals and shrines throughout the neighborhood. Hear how Maradona became the city's hero after the first title in 1987, and how Naples' love of football grew even stronger after the third league title in May 2023. The tour ends at Galleria Umberto I.
