Wandering the busy streets of Napoli
... to the 16th century and was turned into a museum two centuries later. There is an extensive collection of marble and stone here, from the nude statues (Hercules is below in my photos), to works excavated from Pompeii and Herculaneum (nearby towns devastated by the eruption of Vesuvius).
