Castel dell'Ovo
Castel dell'Ovo is a seafront medieval castle on the former island of Megaride in Naples, now connected to the mainland by a short causeway. Its present appearance largely dates from Aragonese works in the 15th century and it has served as a royal seat, treasury and prison; today its buildings host exhibitions and cultural events.

As it stood in 1500
The shape it held in its prime.
Rectangular blocky fortress approximately 200 by 45 metres, rising directly from a rocky promontory into the sea; thick, pale beige ashlar curtain walls with few windows, squat square and rounded towers, and a very high bastion facing the causeway. A short causeway links the castle to the shore; the southern tip projects as a quay protected by a large round tower. Roofline is low and flat with parapets and walkways; interiors occupy the rectilinear range of buildings within the walls.
