Here, view the vast 17th-century Royal Palace, San Carlo Opera House and Church of St. Francis, and learn about the abundant monuments in this lovely square. Following your short stroll, re-board your coach and proceed for a photo stop at Posillipo Hill, which offers wonderful vistas of your surrounds.
