Naples

Located in the heart of Naples, not far from the famous shopping street Via Toledo, lies the "Quartieri Spagnoli" – the Spanish Quarter. Narrow alleys, fluttering clotheslines overhead, rattling scooters, and the scent of fresh espresso: this district is pure, vibrant Neapolitan culture.

Originally built in the 16th century for Spanish soldiers, the district has a turbulent history – long considered dangerous and poor. But in recent years, it has experienced a renaissance. Small cafés, trattorias, and art galleries attract visitors and locals alike, while retaining its authentic charm.

Here you'll encounter the real Naples – direct, honest, and passionate. Everywhere you can feel the residents' pride in their neighborhood.

A highlight for many visitors is the famous "Maradomma" graffiti – a huge mural of Diego Maradona, revered as a saint. The combination of football legend and popular belief perfectly captures how deeply Maradona is anchored in the hearts of Neapolitans. The image hangs among altars, candles, and devotional objects – a true street shrine.

Bar Nilo is known for its Maradona shrine—with photos, memorabilia, and even a lock of hair that the owner once secretly acquired during a flight with Maradona. It's a cult spot for football fans and visitors to Naples.
