Napoli - Castel dell'Ovo - a photo on Flickriver

Il Castel dell'Ovo (Castrum Ovi, in latino) è uno dei più antichi della città di Napoli, ed è uno degli elementi che spicca maggiormente nel celebre panorama del Golfo. Il suo nome deriva da un'antica leggenda secondo la quale il poeta latino Virgilio - che nel medioevo era considerato anche un mago - nascose nelle segrete dell'edificio un uovo che mantenesse in piedi l'intera fortezza. La sua rottura avrebbe provocato non solo il crollo del castello, ma anche una serie di rovinose catastrofi alla città di Napoli. (Da Wikipedia) Castel dell'Ovo (Italian: "Egg Castle") is a castle in the Italian city of Naples. The edifice is located on a small island, the Megarides, where colonists from Cumae founded the original nucleus of the city in the 6th century BCE. In the 1st century CE the Roman patrician Lucius Licinius Lucullus built a magnificent villa on the site. Fortified by Valentinian III in the early 5th century, it was the place where the last western Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was exiled in by Odoacer in 476. Eugippius founded a monastery on the site after 492. From Wikipedia Maybe you are interested on seeing my Best Flickr photos on black
