Piazza del Plebiscito is the most striking square in the center of Napoli, including the Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace of Naples) and the Basilica Francesco da Paola.
Piazza del Plebiscito is the largest square in Naples. The construction of the square is in the name of Joachim Murat, the brother-in-law of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Murat was King of Naples from 1808 to 1815. The semicircular square has on one side the Royal Palace (Palazzo Reale) and on the other side the church San Francesco di Paolo, which was built after the example of the Pantheon in Rome.
This square contains not only the royal palace 'Palazzo Reale' and the church 'San Francesco di Paolo'. You will also see two statues in the square, namely Statua di Carlo III di Borbone and Statua di Fernando I di Borbone. In addition, there are two other buildings worth mentioning, namely two buildings that form a symmetry: the Prefecture Palace and Palazzo Salerno. The Palazzo Salerno nowadays serves as the headquarters for the army of southern Italy.
